Jets place DL T'Vondre Sweat on IR, sign Payton Page to active roster
The New York Jets have placed one of their top defensive linemen, T'Vondre Sweat, on injured reserve and signed Payton Page to the active roster.
The New York Jets' defensive line suffered a setback as T'Vondre Sweat sustained a knee sprain in the second quarter of their game against the Miami Dolphins. The injury has placed Sweat on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next four games. Sweat had been a top 20 interior defensive lineman according to PFF grades throughout the first seven weeks of the season, with his strength lying in run defense, where he achieved a grade of 67.8.
However, his performance against the pass had been less impressive, with a 59.1 PFF grade. Sweat's pressure count stood at seven this season. In response to Sweat's injury, the Jets signed Payton Page, a former Clemson defensive lineman, to the active roster. Page had already played four games with the Jets last season, contributing six tackles, including a tackle for loss against the New England Patriots.
Page had remained with the team during training camp and was signed to their practice squad at the beginning of September.
