Injury & Offensive Line Updates from Robert Saleh

[JetNation]

Robert Saleh spoke to the media on Thursday after the NY Jets training camp practice. He gave a few injury updates and discussed the revamped offensive line.

Alijah Vera Tucker and Morgan Moses

I don’t want to give you a definitive day because we’re taking it day at a time, but we’re looking for next week, but it’s going to be soon. They’re very close, very close.

Yeah hoping, don’t stamp me on that one, but they’re trending in that direction, but like I said, they’re both doing all the walkthrough reps, which is significant also.

Xavier Gipson

I saw him limp off. I’m not sure yet. I don’t have anything for you guys on that.

Offensive Lineman Coming Off The Field For A Play After A False Start

Yeah, especially the false starts, the self-inflicted wounds. It’s just a reminder, simple reminder. It’s not a punishment. It’s just trying to just remind us all that it is a big deal and those five yards can cost us and they cost us a year ago, but if we can just eliminate those self-inflicted wounds, the pre snap penalties, we’d be significantly better

Tyron Smith

What makes him, whether pads or not, he plays so well with his length. He’s got ridiculous length, and he plays so well with his hands. He’s always making first meaningful contact with his length in his hands and keeping people off his body. When you can do that, you don’t even need pads, but he is a technician. He’s savvy, he’s violent, he’s powerful and he’s an unbelievable teammate.

Jordan Travis

Everyone’s rehab is a little bit different. He’s doing a great job. He’s working his tail off, it’s just that we want to make sure we give him the time that he needs to recover. This was always going to be a longterm project and he’s in every meeting, he’s at all the walk throughs, so he’s losing the live reps obviously, but he’s in good spirits.
