Observations from Thursday’s Jets practice:
Breece of mind
Breece Hall was back running the ball Thursday, and that was a sight that had everyone on the Jets rejoicing.
Breece Hall runs with the ball during Jets practice on Aug. 17. Bill Kostroun for the NY PostHall had two nice runs then caught a slant pass and raced through the defense for what looked like a touchdown.
Hall looks on track to play in Week 1, less than a year from his ACL injury.
Thrown off
Aaron Rodgers threw a bad pass across the middle that was intercepted by safety Jordan Whitehead.
It looked like Rodgers held the ball too long then forced one into coverage.
Caught my eye
Mekhi Becton got his first action of training camp at right tackle Thursday.
The team seems committed to starting Duane Brown at left tackle, but right tackle remains up for grabs.
Mekhi Becton took an important step toward possibly claiming a starting role on the Jets’ offensive line. Noah K. Murray for the NY PostBecton has not been part of the rotation with the starters yet, but Thursday’s reps on the right side are a step toward him being able to join the conversation at right tackle.
Rodgers report
It was a short practice that just featured a few “move the ball” periods when the offense tried to mount drives against the defense.
Rodgers went 6-for-11 with a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb and the interception.
Injury report
Guards Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) and Laken Tomlinson (leg) remained out.
DE Carl Lawson (back) and OT Duane Brown (shoulder) are still sidelined.
WR Corey Davis (personal leave) did not practice again.
