Observations from Jets training camp on Tuesday.
Reed all about it
DJ Reed forced a Zonovan Knight fumble and broke up a long Aaron Rodgers pass intended for Corey Davis as part of a strong day for the veteran cornerback.
Bec’ and Fall
Mekhi Becton was beaten twice by Carl Lawson and once by Will McDonald IV. The slimmed-down left tackle, seeing mostly second-team reps, remains a work in progress after missing so much time in recent years.
Caught my eye
Quinnen Williams had an active day, which included busting up a screen pass intended for Knight behind the line of scrimmage. The new $96 million man celebrated by giving his teammates a bow.

It was an up-and-down practice for the future Hall of Fame quarterback. He completed 5 of 10 passes in team drills, threw a long touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson and was picked off by Sauce Gardner on what coach Robert Saleh said was an “execution error from an offensive standpoint.” There wasn’t a receiver in the area on the interception.
Rodgers also connected with Wilson on a picture-perfect touch pass down the left sideline.
Injury report
Receiver Allen Lazard (muscle tightness) was held out of practice. He was wearing a sleeve on his left leg. … McDonald, a rookie edge rusher, returned to practice after being out with a leg contusion.
