Five questions for Jets at training camp

When the Jets finally hit the practice field today for the first time since reporting for training camp at their Florham Park, N.J., complex, they will do so amid some burning questions. We take a look at five questions surrounding the franchise that made it to the AFC Championship Game the past two seasons:

1How long will it take Plaxico Burress to work himself into shape?

That's anyone's guess. Burress hasn't played in a game since Nov. 23, 2008, so there's little doubt he'll need more than a few days to get himself back in the swing of things. It's also going to take some time for him to learn the offense on the fly. The Jets will do their best to simplify things for him -- i.e.: tell him he runs a "go" route on this play or runs a deep out, etc. -- but in order for the offense to really be at its best, Burress will have to be up to speed with everything.

2Is Mark Sanchez ready to be a true leader?

Rex Ryan definitely thinks so, which is why he revealed last week that he's prepared to make Sanchez one of the team's captains. Ryan will continue to use his rotating system of changing game captains each week, but with Sanchez embarking on his third season as the team's franchise quarterback, Ryan believes it's time to make this his team.

3What's going on with the right tackle situation?

As of now, it's probably Wayne Hunter's job to lose. Veteran Damien Woody isn't going to return, so the Jets signed Hunter to a four-year deal last week. Hunter was a good backup and actually got a few starts in 2010 when Woody was injured. However, it remains to be seen if he'll be able to hold up game in and game out against some of the league's top pass-rushers. Second-year man Vladimir Ducasse likely isn't ready, in part because he couldn't work out with the coaches because of the lockout.

4Is Kyle Wilson going to bounce back?

Wilson certainly didn't have the best of rookie seasons, finding himself fluctuating up and down the depth chart because of his inconsistent play. When the Jets drafted him, their plan was to have him serve as the team's nickel back and possibly move outside to play opposite cornerback Darrelle Revis. But he never completely showed the promise that led the Jets to draft him in the first round in 2010.

5Who is going to start opposite Revis, anyway?

Antonio Cromartie, who started for the Jets at cornerback last season, agreed to terms with the Jets early Monday morning, according to a league source. He was the Jets'

second choice after they were jilted by Nnamdi Asomugha, who signed with the Eagles.
