Aaron Glenn and a tension that reveals more than an injury

Behind Aaron Glenn irritation seems to be more than simple fatigue with repetitive questions.

With one of his key offensive weapons sidelined for at least three weeks, the Jets are entering a critical phase of the season.

The episode leaves one lingering question, was it a simple outburst or a sign of deeper internal tension?

What’s certain is that Aaron Glenn has made it clear he won’t tolerate distractions as the Jets try to get their season back on track.
