WATCH: Highlights from Jets' first padded practice
The vibes seemed a lot cheerier around the New York Jets on Monday as they practiced with pads on for the first time in this year's training camp. There was another first in Monday's practice, and that was a live tackling drill run by head coach Aaron Glenn himself. Teams don't really do live tackling in training camp anymore and, according to Jets insider Rich Cimini, the last time the Jets did something similar was in the Rex Ryan era. But Glenn wants his team to be tough, the kind of team that no one wants to play in December and January when the temperature drops below freezing and the hits hurt just a little bit more. The rest of Monday's practice was business as usual. Quarterback Justin Fields was back in team drills, his injury scare from last week receding fast in the rearview mirror. The Jets social media team posted a highlight throw from Fields to rookie tight end Mason Taylor, who made a nice move after the catch, that should get Jets fans excited. Not for how pretty it was (the ball was actually rather wobbly), but for what it means for Fields. Through his first four years in the NFL, one of the biggest problems in Fields' game has been targeting the middle of the field in the short to intermediate range. He's always been far more comfortable throwing to the sidelines or heaving the rock fifty yards downfield. That's his comfort zone, but that's not how winning quarterbacks thrive. Winning quarterbacks hit the middle of the field early and often. That's their bread and butter and it requires the quarterback to deliver strikes on time and in rhythm, often into windows no bigger than a mailbox. It's encouraging to see Fields making that kind of throw in camp, and Jets fans have to hope that it translates consistently into games. Another highlight came from second-year running back Braelon Allen. After taking the handoff from Fields, he makes a sharp cut to his right and hits the afterburns, reaching full speed almost immediately as he blows past the defense. This clip will be sweet for the fans, but it should put running back Breece Hall on notice. He's under a metric ton of pressure to have a career year in 2025 or he may end up looking for a new team in 2026. Another mediocre year from Hall combined with a breakout season from Allen could spell the end for his tenure with the Jets.

Joy Taylor celebrates some good news with her NFL rookie nephew after Fox firing
Joy Taylor took her mind off her Fox Sports ouster on Thursday night as she spent some time with her NFL rookie nephew, Mason Taylor. Earlier this week, The Athletic reported that Taylor was losing her job at the network, as her show 'Speak' and two other programs were being eliminated. Taylor co-hosted 'Speak' with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce, while morning shows 'Breakfast Ball' and 'The Facility' were also cancelled. However, she had some good news to celebrate on Friday as her nephew signed his rookie deal with the Jets. Taylor, a second-round pick by Gang Green in this year's NFL Draft, signed a four-year, $10.5million deal according to multiple reports. And $9.6million of that figure is guaranteed at signing, according to Spotrac. A night earlier, Taylor spent time with Mason and his girlfriend, Sage, as the group posed for a selfie which was posted to the media personality's Instagram page. Taylor is the younger sister of former Dolphins star Jason Taylor, who is Mason's dad. Mason, 21, is expected to be the Jets 'starting tight end this season after the team selected him with the No. 42 overall pick in the draft. His aunt spent nearly a decade at Fox Sports before losing her job earlier this week. Emmanuel Acho, who co-hosted 'The Facility,' also lost his job alongside colleagues Chase Daniel, James Jones and LeSean McCoy. The news of their exits came months after Taylor was accused of using sexual relationships with Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career. The shock allegations stemmed from a bombshell suit , which was filed on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji, which named Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation. Taylor, 38, was alleged to have told make-up artist Faraji to 'get over it' when she confided in her about claims she was sexually assaulted by top programming executive Dixon. Taylor denied the allegation. Back in January, Taylor was also alleged to have used 'her sexuality to get on a show' when she sought a spot on Acho's program 'Speak'. She denied 'each and every allegation against her', with lawyers branding the lawsuit 'a transparent attempt to improperly leverage media attention and public perception to extract financial gain.' Two weeks ago Taylor finally spoke out about the lawsuit that embroiled several Fox Sports stars in scandal, claiming the allegations left her battling 'dark times', 'grief' and 'trauma'. Much of the lawsuit focused on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024. Bayless was accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon was accused of groping the stylist's buttocks. Back in April, reports claimed Fox Sports executive Dixon had lost his job after being accused of sexual battery in two separate lawsuits.
