Aaron Glenn plans to play Jets starters in preseason opener

Aaron Glenn stated that all Jets starters will play in the preseason opener against Tampa Bay on Friday. The approach aims for each starter to get 25-30 combined reps across three preseason games, averaging about 8-10 snaps per game. This methodology contrasts with the traditional view of resting starters, as research has shown that a lack of live reps can lead to increased injuries once the regular season begins. The Jets, adapting to new play callers on offense and defense, believe live game experience is crucial. Injuries to four Jets rookies during training camp serve as a reminder of the risks involved in preseason play.
