The Jets will be wrapping up their virtual offseason program next week and will not conduct an in-person minicamp this month, according to sources.
The NFL has yet to clear teams to hold minicamps, but there has been speculation teams might try to gather later this month to hold some practices. The Jets are going to finish up with their virtual sessions next week and then reconvene for training camp, which is scheduled to begin at the end of July.
This offseason has been unlike any other for NFL teams, as COVID-19 restrictions have kept teams out of their training centers. Typically, teams have offseason practices beginning in April and continuing through June, ending with a three-day mandatory minicamp. This year, teams have had to conduct meetings through video conferences.

The Jets began their program on April 27 and will wrap it up next week.
The Jets reopened their training center in Florham Park on Wednesday on a limited basis. Only a limited number of people from their football operations, IT department, medical staff and personnel staff were working on site. No coaches have been permitted to return yet. The NFL said last week that head coaches may be permitted to return by the end of this week.
Even if some coaches and staff return to the facility soon, it seems like players will not be back until late July.
