What our NFL Nation reporters saw today

New York Jets

Leaguewide, several players seeking new contracts are skipping mandatory minicamp. There's none of that with the Jets. They have a handful of players who would like new contracts -- most notably, cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson -- but their Day 1 attendance was 100%, according to coach Aaron Glenn. The presence of Gardner and Wilson reflects the positive vibes that have emanated from Glenn's first offseason. He's trying to change the culture, and it certainly helps to have buy-in from two of the best players on the team.

"I don't know what you're talking about with other guys holding out (around the league), but our guys come to compete -- and that's who they are," Glenn said. "Listen, I don't take that lightly, either. I'm appreciative, but I know how they're built, too. Those guys come to work."

Wilson, in particular, had a good day on the field. Reunited with former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, Wilson made three sideline catches in the first 11-on-11 period, including a nifty toe-tap along the boundary on an off-platform throw by Fields. -- Rich Cimini

Atlanta Falcons

Tight end Kyle Pitts was in the building Tuesday, but not outside practicing due to an injury, according to head coach Raheem Morris. Pitts has been banged up this spring and missed OTAs practices, as well. The mercurial former No. 4 overall pick, who has dealt with injuries and inconsistency, is going into a contract year and Morris said he feels good about Pitts and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. jelling in 2024.

"[Pitts] has very high standards for himself and I feel really good about those two working together and absolutely getting a better result," Morris said.

Pitts had a historic rookie season in 2021, but has not found that level since. Falcons Pro Bowl right guard Chris Lindstrom said it's a collective goal for Atlanta to have the best offense in the NFL this season. If that comes to fruition, Pitts will have to be a big part of it. -- Marc Raimondi

Cleveland Browns

Rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders continue to show improved comfort in the Browns' offense as Cleveland's four-way QB competition progresses into mandatory minicamp.

Sanders' first pass of team drills went for a deep touchdown, while Gabriel threw one of his best passes of the spring, lofting a high-arching pass into the end zone for a score during red zone drills.

"These guys are all well coached when we get them, but there's things in the NFL game, just the rules are different in some areas. So I think all these guys are making really good progress," coach Kevin Stefanski said after practice. -- Daniel Oyefusi

Jacksonville Jaguars

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was dealing with what head coach Liam Coen called "general soreness" in his right arm, but Coen said there is no concern about an injury.
