Camp buzz: Jets' Fitzpatrick cuts off long locks

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Less than one week into training camp, the New York Jets have made a significant cut at the quarterback position.

Ryan Fitzpatrick's big hair is gone.

The starting quarterback, who created a stir by reporting to camp with overgrown locks and his trademark scruffy beard, showed up for practice on Wednesday with a buzz cut.

The beard, though, remains intact.

"Hopefully, we'll cut it soon," Fitzpatrick told ESPN's NFL Live. "If anything, it's kind of given people something else to talk about other than the contract."
