Just as the Jets' quarterback competition begins to heat up, Sam Darnold, Josh McCown, and Teddy Bridgewater will take their act to Rutgers.

The Jets on Monday announced the team will scrimmage at Rutgers on Aug. 4.

The Green & White game-like intrasquad practice inside HighPoint.com Stadium will be open to the public, with a FanFest starting at 3 p.m., the gates opening at 6 p.m., and a post-practice fireworks show following the 7:30 p.m. scrimmage.

The event is free, but fans are required to hold a ticket for admission. The tickets can be requested HERE. The Jets Fest will include autographs from former Jets players, an appearance by the Jets Flight Crew Cheerleaders, and a Jets Shop with merchandise.

The Jets are set to open training camp on July 27 at their Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park. The team will also hold public practices at its training facility on July 29, Aug. 18 and Aug. 19.

The Jets begin their four-game preseason schedule Aug. 10 with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff against the Atlanta Falcons at MetLife Stadium.

Like Jets coach Todd Bowles, Rutgers coach Chris Ash will also oversee a quarterback competition heading into his third season at the helm of the Scarlet Knights.

True freshman Artur Sitkowski appears to be the frontrunner in a competition that also includes fifth-year senior Gio Rescigno and sophomore Johnathan Lewis.

The Scarlet Knights are set to begin their training camp on Aug. 2.
