The rain kept the Jets from bringing fans into the Florham Park facility, and the weather may do the same thing tomorrow.

Fans missed a practice highlighted by connections between Braylon Edwards and Mark Sanchez. Two stood out, 55- and 50-yard touchdown passes. One during 7 and the other with a full squad.

Brian Thomas nearly intercepted Sanchez on a pass to Dustin Keller. He could have easily run it in, but the ball got out in front of Thomas and he never reeled it in.

Brad Smith took a few reps at quarterback. Smith is a wide reciever who played quarterback in college at Missouri and has been a valuable component of wildcat offensive formations. Jets coach Rex Ryan reiterated that Mark Brunell is the No. 2 guy at the position.

“You know what you get with Mark Brunell,” Ryan said.

Ryan also said that Kellen Clemens clearly leads Kevin O’Connell.

On the news front, we have a story on the Jets close to a deal with C Nick Mangold, and the bemused reaction of many in the Jets locker room to Tom Brady’s comment that he hates the Jets.

Injury front: S Donovan Warren was held out with concussion and LB Josh Mauga limited with concussion. Ryan said he was “not where we wanted him to be.” G Charlie Tanner went down with a knee injury during 9-on-7s. Rex said it was a possible MCL sprain, but Tanner will get an MRI.

Damien Woody had his ankle taped, but Ryan said he wasn’t even on the official injury list, and then pulled out a small handwritten piece of notebook paper.

DE Ropati Pitoitua was placed on the Injured/Reserved list after suffering a torn achilles on Saturday against Carolina.

“It really hurts because here’s a guy who could be a backup end a backup to was really developing as a subrusher too,” Ryan said. “Arrows really pointing up on this guy.” Last year Pitoitua played 150 snaps. Ryan said the estimate was that Pitoitua would need six months to recover from the achilles tear.
