FLORHAM PARK, N.J.— All the sounds, and most of the sights were the same as the Jets held their first official training camp practice.
The sun was shining on the grass fields outside the Atlantic Health Center on Friday. Adam Gase was in a black, long-sleeved shirt, running the offense. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and special teams coach Brant Boyer were their usually loud and colorful selves.
The biggest differences were there was some social distancing, no sharing of waters, and the coaches had to scream through their masks that they must wear. But for everyone involved, it was a big and important day, a return to normalcy somewhat after such an unprecedented offseason because of COVID-19.
