Friday was the first time the media saw many new Jets. It also marked the first time they saw C.J. Mosley on a football field since Oct. 21, 2019 when the middle linebacker re-injured his groin against the Patriots. He initially sustained the injury Week 1 in 2019. Returning from a year away from football after opting out of 2020 because of Covid, Mosley is itching to return.
"I'm just excited," he said. "The two-year hiatus, I'm excited to be on the field, get some sunlight running around, excited to be in the locker room making new friends with my teammates, building relationships with the coaches. I'm just happy to be here."
He added: "When you're out for a while, you always get in your head like, 'Alright, when I get back, how's it going to feel? Am I going to be able to move like I used to?' After finishing this week, I feel great. My conditioning feels good. I've been moving around. I'm just taking it one step at a time at our position. Just trying to learn this new system and be the best I can be."

While no live contact is permitted during Phase 3, the Jets can put the players through 11-on-11, 9-on-7 and 7-on-7 periods. DT Folorunso Fatukasi and WR Lawrence Cager left Friday's session early. Fatukasi sustained an injury on a running play and Cager fell to the grass after running a route. … WR Keelan Cole made a nice snag on a deep ball from Zach Wilson and had a number of catches Thursday.
