Injury Details
The New York Jets placed starting nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee sprain. The 366-pound defensive lineman, acquired in an offseason trade from the Tennessee Titans, is expected to miss a minimum of four games. The injury is not considered season-ending, making him eligible to return November 29 against the Miami Dolphins.
Team Adjustments
Sweat had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rookie Darrell Jackson Jr., a fourth-round selection, is set to step into the starting lineup. The Jets are also without edge rusher David Bailey, who is doubtful with a groin issue. To bolster the roster, the team signed Payton Page and elevated Quinton Bell from the practice squad.
Defensive Challenges
The Jets, now at 2-5, have struggled against the run this season while allowing 127.7 yards per game, ranking 24th in the NFL. Depth at defensive tackle remains a concern after placing David Onyemata on injured reserve in Week 3. Sweat had appeared in all seven games this year with 17 total tackles and two tackles for loss.
