FLORHAM PARK -- Whatever the Jets were doing at practice for the first three weeks of the season wasn't working. They started the season with three straight losses and looked completely out of sync in the process.

So coach Adam Gase is switching things up and adding more reps during team drills.

"I think for us, especially on the offensive side, we've just got to get something going," Gase said. "We've got to do some more. We need to do more walk-thrus, meeting time, practice. We've got to pull our weight."

Gase said the change to the practice schedule is subtle.

"It's not crazy," he said before practice Wednesday. "We're not doing 150 reps today or anything."

The change in the practice structure helps the Jets' quarterback situation, which is not ideal. Sam Darnold was back at practice Wednesday as he hopes to return from mono Sunday against the Eagles.

The extra team-drill time gives the offense a chance to get comfortable with Darnold again -- he hadn't practiced in more than three weeks.

"I think definitely it benefits with Sam coming back," wide receiver Jamison Crowder said. "Just getting those extra reps can help us continue to build that chemistry. But also, we need the work."

Darnold still hasn't been cleared to play, however, and his status is for Sunday is uncertain. So if Darnold can't play, young backup Luke Falk will have to take the field with limited practice reps. With more of practice devoted to team drills, Falk's reps won't be quite as limited.

"I'm getting the mental reps and I'm getting some physical reps also," Falk said. "If my number's called, I'll be ready to roll and see what happens."

But Gase said his change in practice structure wasn't really about his quarterback situation.

"No, it's probably more [about] 0-3," Gase said. "We need to get better at a lot of things, so we'll do a little more."

Injury report

Gase said last week that changes to the offensive line could be in order. But one of those changes may be mandated by injury. Starting left guard Kelechi Osemele didn't practice Wednesday because of knee and shoulder injuries. Meanwhile, the status of linebackers C.J. Mosley (groin) and Jordan Jenkins (calf) is still up in the air. Neither practiced, but Gase said both are "working to try and see if" they can give themselves a chance to play Sunday.

Gase seemed more optimistic about wide receivers Josh Bellamy (shoulder) and Demaryius Thomas (hamstring). Bellamy returned to practice and was limited, he was expected to not be ready. Thomas did not practice, but Gase said he's near the end of his rehab process. Meanwhile, running back/special teamer Trenton Cannon missed practice with a hamstring/ankle injury but is running.
