Hutchinson from the Star-Ledger: http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1187758032199720.xml&coll=1 Who's hot DE Shaun Ellis intercepted a Chad Pennington pass from point-black range and returned it for a 10-yard TD. Even so, Pennington bounced back with a solid day. ... P Ben Graham uncorked a 60-yarder. ... QB Brett Ratliff had his best practice of camp. ... Who's not S Raymond Ventrone dropped an interception and later made a bonehead play on a Hail Mary pass in the end zone, purposely fumbling an interception instead of taking a knee. Quick hits Mangini was absolutely giddy over the chance to practice in a steady, cold rain yesterday. Not so coincidentally, U2's "Beautiful Day" was among the musical selections. ... Rookie G/T Jacob Bender played in a triple option offense at Division II Nicholls State and could be a liability in pass blocking, which doesn't bode well for Pennington. ... The Jets traded rookie free agent LB Jerry Mackey to the Bucs for an undisclosed, low-round draft pick. Mackey had originally signed with Tampa and was released in June. ... LB Eric Barton kicked a 20-yard FG at the end of practice and the Jets had no curfew last night. ... Injury report: RB Thomas Jones (right calf), CB Justin Miller (right hamstring), S Eric Smith (right hamstring) and CB Andre Dyson (right leg) didn't practice. G Pete Kendall (right shoulder) was hurt early in practice but it doesn't appear serious. Jones isn't expected to play vs. the Giants. Depth Chart: Suddenly, the Jets' tight end situation isn't in crisis. Backups TEs Sean Ryan and Jason Pociask, both known primarily as blockers, are catching everything. Joe Kowalewski was playing well before an injury (hamstring). Chris Baker is the starter.
