Third-team Jets show off their skills as stars can’t complete grabs

Observations from the Jets’ training camp practice on Tuesday:
Big gains
The longest successful completion didn’t come from the Jets first team. Hamze El-Zayat caught an over-the-shoulder pass from third-string quarterback Adrian Martinez for a big gain. A herd of offensive players ran down the field to celebrate with the rookie on his big catch.
Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard couldn’t come up with deep completions from Aaron Rodgers. Wilson had one hand on a long pass, nearly hauling it in, but came up short. He held onto his helmet in frustration.
Later, deep on the right side of the field, Rodgers had a clear target on Lazard, but the six-year wideout bobbled it out of bounds.
Xavier Gipson returned to practice and caught several passes from Rodgers, including a pass up the middle while the quarterback was on the run. The second-year receiver was previously out for a week with a leg injury.
Rodgers went 11-for-21 on Tuesday and took one unofficial sack. He only found success i n short, quick passes and runs , especially with Breece Hall.
Rodgers flipped the ball twice to Hall for decent gains and also found the third-year versatile running back up the middle for a few catches.
Injury report
LT Tyron Smith sat out team drills, which lent more reps for Olu Fashanu during 11-on-11 drills. S Ashtyn Davis came off the field after getting hit in the ribs during a team drill, coach Robert Saleh said. They will wait on an evaluation to figure out next steps. CB Michael Carter II (ankle) missed a third straight practice with lower extremity tightness.
