HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Kellen Clemens was finished talking to reporters when he turned and looked for his jersey and shoulder pads, which he had set down a few feet behind him.

They were gone, and the culprit was Chad Pennington, who mistakenly was carrying Clemens' red No. 11 jersey through the gate at the New York Jets' practice field after the opening of training camp Thursday.

"Come on, now!" Clemens yelled playfully at a puzzled Pennington.

It was just an accident - Pennington's stuff was in a nearby tent - but it was a humorous capper to the start of the quarterbacks' summer showdown. The two are in an open competition to win the Jets' starting job after neither seized the role last season.
