FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, nursing a calf injury, threw on the side and spent most of Wednesday's practice coaching up teammates. Running back Breece Hall was off on a side field, rehabbing his surgically repaired knee.
Rodgers, who strained his right calf last week, is expected to return by next week. Hall has a ways to go, but the Jets envision him taking handoffs from Rodgers when they open the season Sept. 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
"I'm very optimistic," coach Robert Saleh said of Hall's potential availability for Week 1.
