More than a week into their first training camp under HC Aaron Glenn, Jets players had a day off Wednesday. They'll return to the practice field Thursday through Saturday, followed by an off-day and then it's game week. The Jets kick off preseason action Saturday, Aug. 9 against the Packers in Green Bay.

Let's take a look back at an eventful first week of camp with 6 takeaways (and an extra point).

Fields Bounce Back
Not long into their second practice (the final rep of the opening team period), Justin Fields limped to the sideline favoring his right foot, was looked at by trainers in the injury tent and carted off the field for medical evaluation. After receiving a diagnosis of a dislocated toe, Fields jogged to the field a day later, threw a perfect round of 7-on-7 session on Saturday and was leading team drills Monday. While the defense got the better of the play Tuesday, Fields scrambled to buy time in the pocket, rushed for a first down on a fourth-and-short and converted a two-minute drive with a TD to rookie TE Mason Taylor.

"I think I've been alright," said Fields of his play since his return. "I'm always going to say there's room to improve. Today, the offense as a whole, we didn't start up great. I think we finished off great. We want to start fast, finish fast, and of course maintain that between as well."

AG's Principles
The Jets will line up this season with one of the NFL's youngest rosters. On the current 90-man roster, the four players 30-plus years old are WR Josh Reynolds (30), LS Thomas Hennessy (31), backup QB Tyrod Taylor (35) and K Nick Folk (40). First-year HC Aaron Glenn will demand that his players are smart, tough, aggressive, and resilient. He is setting a standard early with practices that have featured 1-on-1 live tackling drills. Discipline has been stressed at every turn as referees have been at practice and there have been no after-whistle skirmishes despite the emphasis on physicality. Pads are popping, the pace of workouts has stood out and there has been complete buy-in.

"The principles of this game will never change," Glenn said. "This game is about running, blocking, and tackling, and if you don't practice that, me as a head coach, how am I giving our guys a chance to win? And the only way to get better at something is to rep it, and I'm not saying we're going to tackle every practice. But the thing is, we are going to put ourselves in position to do it, or we're going to do it, and the guys understand that. They knew that coming in. The thing I like about it is they've bought into that, and they understand that, too, and they understand I'm trying to do everything I can to help them win games."

LG John Simpson added: "It's super competitive. We got refs like it's a game out there, so you know that's as competitive as it gets, you know what I'm saying? Just starting there, I feel like that's a big step in the right direction. And just everyday me going against Quinnen [Williams], it's competition. I'm always asking him like, 'Yo what can I get better at?' He's one of the best in the League, and I want to learn everything that I can from under him."

Will Power
After breaking out last season with 10.5 sacks, Will McDonald IV put on 15 pounds this offseason and kept his speed. He is a unique athlete who has a scary ceiling, possessing great length and tremendous explosiveness off the snap. The 6-4 edge has added power and could become one of the league's best pass rushers.

"It was already added," he said of the power. "I just never utilized it as well as I should. Like I said, I had to change my approach to everything. Just doing that. Obviously, everybody knows that I like to speed, spin, all of that, but once I get tackles on their heels, I'm able to get that power and that strength in."

Deep Water
Expect the Jets to lean into their young, talented offensive line and pound teams on the ground. They love their stable of backs, Justin Fields gives them a dynamic this franchise never has had, and OC Tanner Engstrand and HC Aaron Glenn arrived from Detroit where the well-balanced Lions finished No. 6 (146.4 yds/g) and No. 5 (135.9 yds/g) on the ground the past two seasons.

"I think from a whole offensive standpoint the guys, we're all really bought in to this run scheme," said RB Breece Hall. "I think if it's our backs more I think it makes a lot more sense to the guys up front and the reasoning why we're doing everything and what we're doing it for, how we're going to set other plays up with our run game. I think to see how much we've all bought into it and trusting our coaches now has been good."

Star receiver Garrett Wilson believes the ground game will be key to opening things up through the airwaves.

"I think it can be explosive, man," he said. "It's something that can be very complementary," he said of the offense. "The better we can run the ball, especially with the running backs we got, and Justin's ability to run the ball, and Tyrod [Taylor]. I mean, the more push we can get, the more we can run the ball on second and short and convert – that stuff is just going to open up everything for us."

Long Game with 'Main
The Jets have blue chippers -- DT Quinnen Williams, LBs Quincy Williams and Jamien Sherwood and CB Sauce Gardner -- at every level of defense. DC Steve Wilks and Aaron Glenn are known for their pressure packages, and we've seen them sending corners and safeties to the QB in camp. Newcomers Brandon Stephens and Andre Cisco have impressed, and the unit will get a boost when edge Jermaine Johnson (Active/PUP) returns to action.

"It's not about Week 1, it's not about Week 2, it's about the longevity of his career," Glenn said of Johnson. "And we want to make sure that we do a good job and we make sure that we do that with him."

Rookie Rise
The Jets will count on RT Armand Membou (Rd 1, No. 7 overall) and TE Mason Taylor (Rd 2, No. 42) for immediate contributions, but Day 3 pick Malachi Moore (Rd 2, No. 130) is a player to keep an eye out for. The Alabama product is an instinctive DB with loads of versatility and energy. Moore will have a role on special teams, and he can play deep, in the box and in the slot.

"Young fella, [No.] 2-7 he's going to be a hell of a player in this league," said HC Aaron Glenn said of Moore. "And I'm not going to tell you who I compare him to, but he's going to do some really good things for us. And I'm not saying it's going to be at a starting level, and it can be. He's out there competing, and we're seeing if he can get the job, and he understands that. But there are other things we can do with that player on special teams and in certain defensive packages where he's going to be able to excel."

Extra Point
Aaron Glenn's history with the organization is well-documented. To borrow a phrase from the SEC, it just means more.

"It's been everything that I imagined, right, coming back and being the head coach of this team, and being out there on the field," Glenn said. "Just hearing the fans, again, knowing exactly what they're looking for. They're behind us, I know that, and I'm very appreciative of that. There are fans that, when I was playing, that I still see that's out there, and I think that's outstanding. Listen, we have some guys that's in it for the long haul and, listen, I appreciate that. Just don't let go of the rope, I'll say it for all you guys, don't let go of the rope, alright, hold on tight. Be patient and give the guys time. We'll be just fine – we'll be just fine."
