The New York Jets kicked off their mandatory minicamp without two of their biggest stars.
Head coach Robert Saleh announced that quarterback Aaron Rodgers and pass-rusher Haason Reddick weren’t present at the team’s facility Tuesday, according to SNY.
Saleh said both absences are unexcused and subject to fines. Rodgers has been present for OTAs and attended most of the team’s offseason activities but had an “important” event scheduled this week.
The 45-year-old coach added that he’s not disappointed by Rodgers’ absence and that the star passer let the club know about the situation “a while ago.”
