The New York Jets began their 2026 NFL preseason schedule on Friday at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The game ended in a 24-16 Buccaneers win, but as is the case with the preseason, it is an exhibition. Even so, there is still plenty to stay up-to-date with as jobs are on the line and decisions need to be made by head coach Aaron Glenn.
With Geno Smith (ankle) not playing and being listed as day-to-day, fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik started at quarterback. Klubnik impressed, meanwhile, backup QB Bailey Zappe did not with his two interceptions.
Defensively, the Jets were unfortunately status quo: No takeaways and still no interceptions.
