Muhammad Wilkerson hopes to play this week

The Jets returned to their old practice field at Hofstra on Sunday night for a family night practice in front of 11,000 fans that got to see something that hasn’t been seen at the team’s Florham Park facility recently.

Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was on the field going through practice after missing almost all of this summer’s work because of a hamstring injury. Wilkerson got some work in team drills in addition to work with the defensive linemen and coach Todd Bowles said that Wilkerson was “moving pretty good” in his return to the field. Now they hope that his hamstring responds well enough to allow him to play against the Giants in this week’s dress rehearsal for the regular season.
