The New York Jets’ first-year coach had a partial right knee replacement on July 6, but doesn’t expect to have any restrictions during training camp practices this summer. Bowles said he’s unsure whether the team will place Milliner on the preseason physically unable to perform list after players report to camp on Wednesday.

However, one thing hasn’t changed for the Jets: High expectations. The time is now to be following the storylines, position battles, and other news about your favorite team and even your rivals because it will help you in Fantasy Football this year. This means that the players are closer to their homes and closer to temptations. Revis proved he was still among the top cornerbacks in the NFL last year after a 2013 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a system that wasn’t a fit for his skills.
If Smith can develop into a game manager, correct his turnover-prone ways and mature a bit more on and off the field, then the Jets may have both a shot at dethroning the New England Patriots atop the AFC East and their long-term answer at quarterback.
Bowles wasn’t floored by Brandon Marshall’s recent twitter proclamation that the Jets will be his last stop.
That’s not exactly a Broadway Joe-like guarantee, of course. But it’s a situation with which they’d rather not remain familiar.
The Jets’ defensive line is considered one of, if not its greatest strength.
Henderson is now low on the Jets’ depth chart at linebacker, and there is a good chance that he does not make this team, but he is still a player worth watching. Not bad. The low-key Bowles has taken over, charged with returning the Jets to respectability after a 4-12 season that cost Ryan and GM John Idzik their jobs. But Maccagnan signed Marcus Gilchrist to play free safety, which will allow the ferocious Pryor to patrol the back end of the secondary and deliver the jarring hits he became famous for at Louisville. You know, the one Joe Namath famously delivered on in 1969 – still the Jets’ only championship. Geno Smith showed flashes of improvement this spring, especially during minicamp, but he has always looked better in shorts than in uniform.

The Jets traded for veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in the offseason, giving them insurance if Smith fails to seize what could be his last opportunity with the Jets.
