NY Jets Training Camp Report 08/14

The Jets held training camp practice this morning in Cortland.  Here’s a recap of what happened:

Ex-Jets and Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington was invited to practice by General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.  Pennington had worked with Mark Sanchez in the offseason helping him learn coordinator Tony Sparano’s offense since Pennington played under Sparano with the Dolphins.

Look who's in #Jets camp: Chad Pennington. Invited by Tannenbaum, CP will help out QBs and Sparano today.

Sanchez ran over to give Pennington a hug between drills. The two spent time together in Florida in March #nyj

QB Mark Sanchez had an effective 7-on-7 session with rookie WR Jordan White contributing with a nice catch against Revis.

Slight cause for concern as WR Stephen Hill needed attention from the trainers, the Jets can’t lose any more receivers to injury.

Hill hurt finger while engaged with Revis. Says he can't bend it. Will be evaluated by training staff. #Jets

Now Stephen Hill is out. I think he got a couple of fingers taped. #Jets

Linebacker Ricky Sapp continues to work with the rehabilitation group.  He needs to get healthy and on the field to ensure a roster spot.  The “walking wounded” wider receivers Holmes, Schilens and Kerley are also with the rehab group. There is hope that Kerley can be back soon as he participates in portions of practice.  Defensive linemen Sione Po’uha continues to miss practice with a cut forehead and back issues.

Players working off to side with rehab group: Holmes, Kerley, Schilens, Sapp, Lankster, Torrence. Don't see Po'uha out here again. #nyj

Kerley returning punts. Jets are hoping he can be full practice by the end of the week. #Jets

Sione Po'uha not at practice. Dealing with lower back issue. #Jets

— Jets RapidReports (@CBSJets) August 14, 2012

No sign of Sione Pouha at practice. This can't be a good thing. This back injury is a concern. #Jets

While the wide receivers have had injury problems cornerback Antonio Cromartie has been practicing at receiver and caught a touchdown.

Cornerback Isaiah Trufant is fighting to be the Jets #5 corner, helps his cause with an interception, while safety Antonio Allen continues to have a nice camp sacking QB Greg McElroy.

With the 3s: Allen sack of McElroy, Trufant tip and interception. #nyj
