Training camp remains bumpy one for Jets
The New York Jets might be down a few key players for a couple of days.
Left tackle Kelvin Beachum and running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery are dealing with ankle injuries that could sideline them for a few days.
Coach Adam Gase said yesterday neither injury appears serious. The Jets practice again today before having a day off tomorrow.
“Those could be day to day, could be a week,” Gase said. “We’ll kind of evaluate them.”
Gase added cornerback Trumaine Johnson was nursing a sore groin before practice. But he participated during the first half of the session before sitting out the final period of team drills.
“He tried to go,” Gase said. “We kind of pulled him out there toward the end. That’s kind of where that ended up.”
Beachum was injured during drills involving the offensive and defensive lines. He was replaced by third-round pick Chuma Edoga on the first-team offense.
“I just had to go in there and make sure there was no fall-off,” Edoga said.
Edoga, a former teammate of quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Deontay Burnett at USC, has worked at both left and right tackle with the second-team offense since camp opened last week.
“I feel like it made the transition (to the NFL) a lot easier seeing familiar faces,” Edoga said. “It was pretty cool.”
Projected starting safety Marcus Maye remains on the active/physically unable to perform list while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Also, center Ryan Kalil was scheduled to take his physical yesterday after agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with the Jets on Thursday. Kalil retired after last season following a 12-year stint with Carolina, but opted to resume his playing career.
