Offensive coordinator Press Taylor told reporters back in June that Jones has "done a great job just getting in here and learning the offense," and Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com believes that the 2021 first-round pick should have the inside edge on C.J.

Rodgers described himself as 90 percent back from last season's torn Achilles at the conclusion of the Jets' spring practices, according to Eric Allen of the Jets' official site. "I feel much better today than I did yesterday, and I'm sure I'll feel better next week and the following week and training camp will be great," Rodgers said. "At some point, it will just be a distant memory and I'll feel like 100 percent myself. Right now, I'm 90 percent myself and 10 percent not sure what's going on with various parts of my body."
