The New York Jets have largely avoided the injury bug that has derailed past summers through the first few weeks of training camp. Aside from a handful of minor ailments, the team has been able to keep its core players healthy, a rare luxury for many teams in August.
But on Wednesday, one pretty notable player was held out of practice due to injury. All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner did not participate in the Jets' second and final joint practice with the New York Giants on Wednesday.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters after practice that Gardner was sidelined with “calf soreness” and that the team is still determining the severity of the injury.
