CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers overcame a slow start to lead a well-executed touchdown drive during a two-minute drill, and the Carolina Panthers appear to have avoided two key injuries during a heated joint practice on Thursday.
After throwing two interceptions early in practice, Rodgers began to find his form on the Jets final offensive possession, completing three passes before picking up a defensive pass interference on a deep ball to Garrett Wilson. On the ensuing play, Rodgers capped the drive with a short TD pass to Wilson.
"We started slow, which can't happen, but you have to find a way to bounce back and finish strong and I think we did that," said Wilson, who was targeted three times on the touchdown drive.
