FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets canceled practice on Thursday, becoming the latest team to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The Jets were scheduled to practice at 9:20 a.m. Players are usually out there long before then, but the field at Atlantic Health Training Facility was empty.
The Detroit Lions were the first to cancel practice Tuesday to protest what happened to Blake. The Washington Football Team canceled their Thursday scrimmage, while the Indianapolis Colts canceled their Thursday practice.
