The Jets hoped that safety Marcus Maye would be ready for training camp, but the third-year player is opening camp on the physically unable to perform list.

Jets coach Adam Gase said the team is hopeful that Maye will be able to return soon, but he also could not guarantee that Maye will be ready for Week 1.

“I really hope so,” Gase said. “It’s one of those things where I don’t want to say he’s going to be there automatically, but we’re hoping so.”

Maye had shoulder surgery last year that ended his season after just six games. In the spring, he was limited to seven-on-seven drills, but Gase sounded like he expected Maye to be cleared by training camp. But doctors did not give him the go-ahead this week.

“I was [optimistic] in the spring,” Gase said. “I know he was working hard. The body heals a certain way. He’s doing everything he can to get out there. When they feel good about it and everybody’s in a good spot, then he’ll be out there.”

Gase said Maye did not experience any setbacks. It is just a matter of Maye’s shoulder not yet being fully ready.

RB Le’Veon Bell will be on the field Thursday, and Gase said he is not expecting any limitations on Bell, who sat out last season because of a contract standoff with the Steelers.

“He’ll be fine,” Gase said. “He’ll jump right in there. He’s in good condition. He’ll be all right. He’s a football player. He’s done this for a long time. He’s been training all spring and all summer in a very hot climate.”

The Jets likely will limit Bell’s practice reps early to be cautious. Gase said the team has a plan for training camp and the preseason, but he did not want to disclose it.

“We’ll be smart,” Gase said. “He’s not going to walk out of this camp with the most reps he’s ever had. We’ll find that line. We’ll find what the balance is. It’s going to be communication a lot of time. We’ve got an idea going in, and then if we have to adjust that plan, we will.”

The Jets placed CB Brian Poole on the active/non-football injury list on Wednesday. The move came after Gase spoke to the media, so it was not immediately clear why. Poole is expected to be the team’s starting slot cornerback. The Jets also placed OL Toa Lobendahn on the non-football injury list.

RB De’Angelo Henderson, who was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, was claimed by the Vikings.

The Jets will have former players D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Calvin Pace in camp as scouting interns.

Former Steelers WR Hines Ward will serve as a coaching intern. Former Jet David Clowney also will be in camp as a coaching intern.

The team signed TE Temuchin Hodges on Wednesday. Hodges was formerly known as Bucky Hodges and was with the Jets in the spring of 2018.
