quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not suit up for Thursday's joint practice against the in Florham Park.Head coach Robert Saleh gave no prior indication that Rodgers would sit out the competitive se sion, but the weather and field conditions may have played a role in the decision to give a Pete Rose Jersey rest day to the 40-year-old field general. The playing surface is presumably slick from the heavy rains that have blanketed New Jersey over the past 48 hours, and the forecast is not projecting an immediate improvement from the overcast skies and misty conditions.Seen wearing a raincoat and athletic pants, Rodgers Aaron Altherr Jersey , who has worked his way back from Achilles surgery, had not mi sed a practice since training camp kicked off two weeks Clay Buchholz Jersey ago. The four-time NFL MVP has been free of limitations this summer and claims to be back at full strength.Still, there doesn't seem to be good reason to expose Rodgers to any potential accidental contact from opposing players on a slick surface.On the other side, No. 2 overall draft pick Jayden Daniels was seen taking 7-on-7 reps against Jets defenders.Meanwhile, veteran backup Tyrod Taylor slid up to the Jimmy Foxx Jersey QB1 spot with Rodgers on the sideline. The 35-year-old Taylor was signed as a proven insurance policy back in March. It's unsure how much playing time, if any, the battle-tested backup will see in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, but Saleh mentioned .Rodgers has been , but he could take snaps in the August 24 finale against the ."That third game is the one where we're deciding. He definitely won't play the first two, but the discu sion on the third one we just haven't quite had yet," Didi Gregorius Jersey said Saleh during the opening week of training camp.More New York Jets News:

Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook is generating plenty of buzz within scouting circles as he prepares for a big test against Oregon this week. The Spartans' signal-caller has even drawn a comparison to QB (). I asked five NFL personnel executives to give me the best player comparison for Cook. Here Blake Treinen Jersey are their answers.Executive 1: Chad Pennington "I see similarities to Pennington. He's Victor Gonzalez Jersey smooth and has a good-not-great arm. He shows poise in the pocket and makes good decisions."Executive 2: "I still need to do a lot of work on him, but if I had to make a call now, I'd say . They both have good size. Smart, average athletes with good-not-great arm strength."Executive 3: "Based on what I've seen so far, I'll go with Bortles. Talented guy with inconsistent arm strength and inconsistent decision making. Russell Martin Jersey They each have great size and sneaky athleticism."Executive 4: "I think he's with a stronger arm."Executive 5: "Maybe in some ways. Tons of arm talent, real good size, a good athlete, but moments of inconsistency that give you pause."Verdict: It's a mixed bag, with five different players receiving a vote.Conclusion: Cook is one of the most intriguing players to monitor Trea Turner Jersey during the college season. He has a lot of tools to work with, but it's tough to find a clear-cut comparison for him at the NFL level. The executives I surveyed offered a broad range of comps. Personally, I see him as without the top-shelf arm strength. He is similar to Palmer in size, athletic ability and demeanor. This week's game against Oregon will be heavily attended by NFL scouts and I'm anxious to Tommy Lasorda Jersey see how Cook performs on that stage. Follow Daniel Jeremiah on Twitter at .

I'm proud of the effort in Martin Perez Jersey the second half but it's a valuable le son to learn. You're behind 24 points at halftime."I don't know what the percentages are of coming back and winning. I guarantee it's probably right around one. There are no moral victories in this league, but I was Eduardo Escobar Jersey proud of the resolve and the character that showed up. These guys went out and executed the plan in the second half.

Additionally, second-year wideout , who was expected to compete for a starting job opposite of , while training prior to camp.

The used a late fifth-round draft pick on a developmental quarterback prospect with a tremendous collegiate rsum.Before he can begin his profe sional development, however, Florida State product Jordan Travis must Javon Hargrave Jersey first return to full health. As it turns out, that proce s will take longer than some expected.Travis suffered a gruesome leg fracture last November, eleven games into what was supposed to be Florida State's national championship run. The Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year has been sidelined since.After being selected No. 171 overall by the Jets, the 24-year-old Travis was unable to participate in OTAs. David DeCastro Jersey Now, he's on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.While NFI designees count against the team's 90-man roster limit, and can come off the list at any time, Travis likely won't practice anytime soon. On Thursday, New York as a fourth arm for training camp."As far as the fourth quarterback, JT's gonna take a little bit more time Justin Hunter Jersey than we were hoping. We need a fourth quarterback, so that was really the reasoning for the fourth quarterback," said Saleh after Thursday's practice in Florham Park.Saleh subsequently elaborated on Travis's current status with the club."Everyone's rehab is a little bit different. He's doing a great job. He's working his tail off, it's just that we want to make sure we give him the time that he needs to recover," said Saleh. "This was always J.J. Wilcox Jersey going to be a long- term project and he's in every meeting, he's at all the walk throughs, so he's losing the live reps obviously, but he's in good spirits."Having signed veteran backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor earlier in the offseason, the Jets in 2024. New York has created a situation where the former college star can sit back, heal and learn as a Vance McDonald Jersey rookie.

Florida State is widely regarded as the for one easy-to-see reason: The Seminoles have the most talent.It's not exactly Cameron Maybin Jersey breaking news to say FSU is loaded at just about every position, from reigning Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback to top linemen like on offense and Jr. on defense. A scout told NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah just a few months ago that the team has "" that are under consideration for the 2015 .One coach in the ACC apparently agrees. , a league coach said Florida State is so stacked with its starting 22 that half of the teams in the ACC don't not have a player who would start for the Seminoles this season.That's quite the statement. The funny thing about it is he might actually Roger Maris Jersey have understated the talent advantage Jimbo Fisher has on the rest of the conference.Clemson would probably be the unanimous pick as the second-most talented team in the ACC -- the Tigers had earlier this week. Somebody like wide receiver or defensive end would probably end up starting in Tallaha see. Defending Coastal champion Duke might be able to Babe Ruth Jersey get wide receiver into the FSU lineup, and Virginia's likely would be a starter at one of the safety positions. As talented as Karlos Williams is, he'd probably be the second option at running back behind Miami's . Louisville's and should be able to earn a start, too (more for the former than the latter). That covers five schools out of the 14-team league.There would be some close calls at others, though. Syracuse's might be able to beat out as the Florida State right tackle. Virginia Tech is a talented squad, but guys like Luther Maddy and Kyshoen Jarrett would probably end up as rotation players Johnny Damon Jersey . Maybe North Carolina's would be the primary punt returner. After that, the coach's statement rings true as Boston College, Georgia Tech, Pitt, N. C.C. Sabathia Jersey C. State, and Wake Forest don't have any players that could come close to starting for FSU.There's a reason why the Seminoles will be favored in every game this season, and it begins and ends with their starting 22 being college football's best.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .
