FLORHAM PARK — Training camp for the 2023 New York Jets has come to an end and the team ended it on a high note. Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson ended the portion of practice open to the media with a 25-yard touchdown to conclude the competitive parts of the day and sent the fans in attendance home happy.
We’ll get more into the Rodgers-Wilson connection in a bit, but it’s important to note that the Jets clearly look like a team that is prepared and ready to take the next steps into title contention. There’s still one more preseason game and cutdown day to go, but the Jets look ready.
Let’s get to our final thoughts on the last day of camp.
Injury Updates
Another positive for New York is that they are concluding practice relatively healthy. Duane Brown was a light participant in team drills on Thursday and looked pretty good out there. It may have been a light and rainy day but Brown looks solid.
Outside of Brown, the team gave several key injury updates for a few players. Positively, Allen Lazard is dealing with an AC joint and will be out of Saturday’s preseason finale against the Giants according to Jets head coach Robert Saleh. He is fully expected to be ready for Week One though in a couple of weeks.
The downside is that Carl Lawson is still not back as he recovers from a back injury. The veteran pass rusher has been out for the last three weeks and his status for Week One against Buffalo is now in doubt.
It’s worth noting that Mekhi Becton did not take part in practice today due to a rest day according to the team after practice concluded. He’s in line to start Saturday against the Giants at right tackle.
