It’s July, and you know what that means: New York Jets training camp is right around the corner, and the countdown can begin to Week 1 in Detroit.

Forget about Christmas — for NFL fans, this is the most wonderful time of the year. Training camps are opening, and everyone is 0-0. That includes the New York Jets. On July 24, Jets rookies will report to the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in East Rutherford, NJ. Then, on July 26, the veterans will join their teammates.

The expectations for the Jets are very low by most people. Many don’t expect them to even contend for a playoff spot, but they are expected to improve on their 5-11 record. The expectations are for the team to hover around the .500 mark.

This camp brings a lot of hope for the future, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t questions to be answered about 2018. So, let’s try to answer them the best we can.

5. Can the Jets rebound from 2017 injuries?

The offense needed some help last season. They may get it. Quincy Enunwa, Terrelle Pryor, Brian Winters, Spencer Long and Jordan Leggett are all coming off injuries from 2017. All of them also affect one of our other burning questions (and you probably know what that is).

Long is supposed to be a big upgrade at center. Winters ability was hampered by an injury which hurt the offensive line. Enunwa and Pryor give the Jets two more receivers who are capable of 1,000-yard seasons, and Leggett is supposed to be the guy who can fill the void at a position the Jets have had issues with for a long time. In the end, if all those players are healthy, it’s going to be a good season for the Jets offense.
