While the Jets are officially the subject of this year’s Hard Knocks, the HBO production will not include some of the same footage as in years past.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, New York is not allowing HBO to film some parts of training camp, including when the team informs players that they are cut, a departure from Hard Knocks episodes of years past.
“Hard Knocks will not be the same because they’re not going to be given the same access,” Schefter said. “The Jets don’t believe it’s humane to show players being released.”
