    **Notable**:

    Extrapolating Jets lines from today’s media chat:

    Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
    Ehlers-Perfetti-Niederreiter
    Iafallo-Lowry-Appleton
    Barron-Kupari-Namestnikov

    Only player coming into Jets training camp with an injury is **Wyatt Bongiovanni**. He’s dealing with a groin issue so it will cost him a few days.

    Love the attitude from Bones, he’s the coach we needed/need right now.

    Loving the things Bone’s is saying, hopefully that accountability flows into the rest of the team and if they get in a slump it only lasts a couple games instead of a couple months.
