Rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik missed another practice due to back soreness, as confirmed by Jets coach Aaron Glenn. Klubnik, the fourth-round pick from Clemson, was expected to demonstrate his skills during Organized Team Activities but has been sidelined. As a result, Bailey Zappe is currently slated as the backup behind starter Geno Smith. Missing practice time could impact Klubnik's chances of securing the No. 2 quarterback spot. While he was once seen as a top draft pick, his stock dropped last year after a disappointing college season.
