Ponds (calf) is not yet healthy enough to return to the practice field, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
The rookie cornerback strained his calf in late July during a training camp practice, but Jets coach Aaron Glenn said then that the injury wasn't serious, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Glenn told reporters Monday that Ponds should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The second-round pick is expected to play a major role in New York's secondary.
