The Jets will be in pads for the first time on Tuesday and Alex Varallo<\/a><\/strong> will be covering the action for JetNation. You can read about the first few practices by checking out our NY Jets Camp Reports<\/a><\/strong>. There is no official injury report yet and with all the changes the team made to that department we certainly hope this isn’t an issue like it was in years past. But Robert Saleh did give one important injury update today in regards to Quinnen Williams.<\/p>\n

I think he did position drills today. I think he did. So he\u2019s getting much closer. Obviously, he\u2019s two weeks away. We\u2019ve got this week and then Giants week, but he\u2019s getting closer. He\u2019s excited and we\u2019re all excited to get him out there. The d-line group is already pretty impressive so getting him and Vinny Curry and Kyle Phillips, all those guys coming in, that\u2019s exciting for that group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Back on the topic of pads, coach Saleh was asked for his thoughts on Monday after practice.<\/p>\n

Do you look forward to putting pads on tomorrow and how does that change the dynamic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was excited for the pads to come on today and then I looked at it and I was like, \u2018Wait a minute, the pads go on Tuesday.\u2019 That happened on Saturday. I\u2019m looking forward to it, because now the o-line and d-line, that\u2019s where the biggest difference is going to be. There won\u2019t be much change in the perimeter of the defense and offense for that matter with regards to how they play. There will be a little more physicality obviously, but on the interior where those guys are getting true genuine work, we\u2019ll get some one-on-one\u2019s going in camp for the first time so it\u2019s going to be exciting to see those guys progress.<\/p>\n

Just in regard to the pads, I\u2019m just curious because every coach wants pads all the time, how difficult is it to evaluate the way you want to evaluate when you\u2019re not in pads? You\u2019ve done about five practices now\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess you get to the point where these veterans, especially on the o-line and d-line you kind of have an idea but you don\u2019t need much with regards to padded practice to really see the exterior, the perimeter of the offense and defense. Interior, you always want pads really because it helps with pad level, it helps keep good sound fundamentals, it helps all those things. But as far as needing all those padded practices, I think it\u2019s more for fundamentals. Usually, you should already know whether or not those guys can play with or without pads because of the way they practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
