Aaron Boone on Clarke Schmidt (common extensor strain): "As we've checked in with him, it's kind of been better each and every day. But he's still at least another week before he starts throwing. But range of motion, strength, all those things are coming back the way it should, but he's still probably at least a week away from throwing."

Aaron Boone on Luis Severino, and whether he's still on schedule to start throwing: "We're hoping next week, but we got to get through this week and make sure everything continues to go. He's doing well."

Aaron Boone: “I feel great. I can't believe how good I feel. It makes me really glad that I got this done because, certainly in the last couple of months, I have not felt anywhere close to how I felt this morning. Really excited about it; excited to get back."

Ex-Jets QB Mark Sanchez, defending fellow former USC QB Sam Darnold, said on "Get Up" that it's in Darnold's best interest to be traded ASAP. "They've gotta do something fast to get him out of there," Sanchez said. Sanchez believes it would be difficult for Darnold to remain with the Jets, saying, "He has too short of a leash right now. As soon as he goes three-and-out two times this year, his ass is going to get booed out of the stadium. It's not fair to the kid." Sanchez speaks from experience
