The New York Jets will not have their typical joint practice with the New York Giants this offseason.

On Friday, head coach Robert Saleh explained why.

The two franchises have agreed to forgo the practice due to the fact that they play each other during the 2023 regular season (Week 8).

"With the Giants, I've already talked with [Brian] Daboll and we're going to bypass this year," Saleh explained. "We'll reconvene next year."
