Fair point and I asked one of the reporters at camp about Kerley on Twitter and he just said Kerley is Kerley so that's a good sign.
I've been meaning to ask and it's a bit concerning to me but, why the hell is Amaro getting reps with third stringers. I find that odd. Hope it's the same deal as Kerley. They know what they got and are looking for other contributors.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- With the preseason opener on Thursday night, the New York Jets have released their first official depth chart. Based on what I've seen in practice, this is an accurate representation on how things stand at every position.
There are no stunners on the depth chart. Yes, Geno Smith is listed as the No. 1 quarterback. No, the Jets didn't pull a page out of the Buffalo Bills' press release, listing it as Smith/Ryan Fitzpatrick. There are no slashes on Todd Bowles' depth chart, just your basic list of starters and backups and backups to the backups.
A few notes:
• Jace Amaro is listed as the third tight end, behind Jeff Cumberland and Kellen Davis. Don't read too much into this. Remember, Bowles said Amaro would be used as an H-Back, and there's no H-Back on the depth chart.
• Troubled defensive end Sheldon Richardson is listed as a starter even though he has been practicing with the backups. No. 1 pick Leonard Williams appears as a backup, but he's expected to start the first preseason game.
• Chris Owusu (concussion) is listed as a second-team wide receiver, as is Jeremy Kerley. Obviously, the starters are Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. This illustrates how much Owusu has climbed in the eyes of the coaches.
• Incumbent left guard Oday Aboushi is listed behind James Carpenter and Dakota Dozier. This confirms what we suspected at the Green & White practice: Aboushi, who worked with the third-team line, is on the roster bubble.
