Jets place DT T’Vondre Sweat on injured reserve with a knee injury

The New York Jets announced on Saturday that defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat will join their injured reserve list due to a knee injury. The highly regarded run-stuffing force on the defensive line suffered the injury late in the second quarter during the Jets' 28-25 defeat to Miami. Coach Aaron Glenn had already placed Sweat on the sidelines for Sunday's match against Las Vegas, but a minimum of four games will be required before he can return, with the earliest possible date being Nov.

29 for a game against Miami. Sweat, signed from Tennessee in the offseason after being selected in the second round by the Titans in 2024, has amassed 17 tackles and two tackles for loss. Head coach Glenn emphasized that the loss of such a key player is a significant blow to the team, but noted that his replacement players are prepared to step up.

Rookie defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr., a fourth-round selection from Florida State, is expected to gain more playing time with Sweat's absence, while veteran Jack Heflin may also see increased action. The Jets have also signed undrafted free agent Payton Page from Clemson and promoted edge rusher Quinton Bell from the practice squad, who could face his former team.

However, rookie edge rusher David Bailey and fellow pass rusher Joseph Ossai are both currently ruled out due to groin and ankle injuries, respectively. Offensive lineman Brant Banks was also promoted for the game.
