Eight Chances to Watch New York Jets’ Aaron Rodgers back at work this summer | Sporting News

It’s unlikely the New York Jets‘ four-time NFL MVP takes the field for any preseason game action, so those hoping to catch a glimpse of quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the summer should make plans to visit training camp.

The Jets are asking rookies to report to the team facility in Florham Park on July 18. Veteran players will check in on July 23 and New York will host an open practice for ticketed fans four days later.

The team’s first of eight open sessions is set for Saturday, July 27 at 10:15 am ET on the NFL’s “Back Together Weekend.” The Jets will welcome fans back on July 30 for another 10:15 am start and an 11:05 am practice on August 3. Tickets for those three dates will be made available on July 18. The July 25 session is reserved for season ticket holders and not open to the general public.

The next wave of open practices features sessions on August 7, 8 and 13. All three are scheduled to start at 10:15 am and tickets hit the market on July 29. On August 8, the Jets will welcome the Washington Commanders for a joint practice ahead of their preseason game.

The public portion of Jets’ Training Camp will come to a close with practices on August 20 and 21. The start times are to be determined and the latter will be a joint session with the local rival New York Giants. Tickets for those last two dates will become available on August 12.

Excitement is building again at 1 Jets Drive with a healthy Rodgers expected to make the team instant contenders.

“If I don’t do what I know I’m capable of doing, we’re all probably gonna be out of here. I like that kind of pressure though. It’s a tough market to play in, it’s not for everybody. I relish that opportunity,” said the 40-year-old Rodgers during voluntary OTAs.

Jets Open Training Camp Practices: July 27, July 30, August 3 (Green & White), August 7, August 8 (Commanders), August 13, August 20, August 21 (Giants).
