Observations from the Jets’ training camp practice on Thursday.
Stars Burst
Tyrod Taylor came in for the injured Justin Fields firing deep passes and connected with Garrett Wilson down the seam against Sauce Gardner.
Wilson had been matched up mostly against Brandon Stephens, but the battle between the two stars who just received big contract extensions was a highlight.

Brandon Smith also made a great diving catch from Taylor.
Cook Burned
QB Brady Cook — who is No. 2 on the depth chart while Fields is sidelined — threw a pair of interceptions.
He sailed a pass over Pokey Wilson’s head and into the arms of Jarius Monroe and was high on a pass that went off the intended target’s hands and was intercepted by Marcelino McCrary-Ball.
Caught My Eye
Safety Andre Cisco has only 1.5 sacks in his career, but he was in the backfield to blow up a play before Fields was injured.
It’s likely that Cisco and edge Micheal Clemons would’ve combined on a sack of the scrambling quarterback.

Fields suffered a dislocated toe. … Edge Jermaine Johnson won’t be rushed off the Physically Unable to Perform List and into practice after last season’s torn Achilles. “We have a plan for him,” head coach Aaron Glenn said. “I told him, ‘It’s not about Week 1. It’s not about Week 2. It’s about the longevity of his career.”
