The biggest story of the day, which seems to be a continuation from last season, injuries to the wide receivers:
Jets wide receivers looked terrible today. No Holmes or Hill and no one stepping up.

Head coach Rex Ryan said that WR Santonio Holmes could start the season on the active Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP):
“Of course Santonio, we’ll see…he’s doing a decent job but we’ll see how he is for training camp,” said Ryan. “There’s a possibility maybe he starts out on PUP, I’m not sure. Seems to be doing well.”

Looks like the veterans are still holding off the younger competition at the guard position as Willie Colon and Stephan Peterman continue to work with the first team:

On the defensive side Quinton Coples continued his transition from defensive end to outside linebacker while cornerback Darrin Walls had a nice day:
Didn't see Coples drop back at all today, a lot of rush-heavy sets. #nyj

Good practice for Darrin Walls. INT and two pass breakups.
