Zach Wilson’s stellar day at Jets camp includes long touchdown throw

Observations from Jets practice on Wednesday.

Zach Attack

Zach Wilson enjoyed one of his best days of camp. The backup quarterback was sharp in 7-on-7 drills, made quick decisions and connected with Alex Erickson on a perfectly placed 65-yard bomb that went for a touchdown.

Same OL Story

It was another shaky day for the struggling offensive line. The first team struggled to create a push up front, particularly in the running game. The group is without projected starting left tackle Duane Brown (PUP).

Caught My Eye

Jermaine Johnson’s strong starts continued with a sack of Aaron Rodgers in team drills. The second-year pass-rusher has been receiving first-team reps on the defensive line.

Rodgers Report

It was a nondescript practice for Rodgers, who was held out of the end zone, but didn’t turn the ball over, either. He completed 7 of 13 passes and was sacked once. His best completion was a third-down conversion to TE Tyler Conklin along the right sideline in the two-minute drill. He was intercepted by safety Tony Adams, but it was a free play after the defense went offside.

Injury Report

LT Mekhi Becton didn’t practice due to a sore right knee — the same knee that cost him all of last season. … WR Allen Lazard (muscle tightness) missed his second straight practice. … Edge rusher John Franklin-Myers was bothered by a tight groin and didn’t finish practice. Coach Robert Saleh expects him to be out for a few days.
