New York Jets Begin 2026 Training Camp with Roster Battles and Day‑One Highlights
The New York Jets kicked off their 2026 training camp at the Florham Park complex on a Wednesday in late July, marking the start of the league’s preseason preparations. Head coach Aaron Glenn led the first practice, during which the offense showed early promise while the defense drew attention.
Key performances included wide receiver AD Mitchell catching a deep pass and using his speed to outrun defender Brandon Stephens, and edge rusher David Bailey pressuring quarterback Geno Smith into an incompletion, demonstrating his pass‑rushing prowess. Running back Breece Hall highlighted the team’s newfound stability under Glenn, and defensive tackle Jowon Briggs delivered multiple interior pressures. Defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick appeared on special‑teams duties as a returner.
The Jets also dealt with a roster move, placing former Bengals edge rusher Joseph Ossai on the physically unable to perform list after a failed physical. Across the NFL, all 32 franchises opened their camps in late July, initiating roster battles and contract negotiations as teams shape their 53‑man squads for the 2026 season.
