Jets Place DT T'Vondre Sweat on Injured Reserve with a Knee Injury
T'Vondre Sweat will miss at least four games after a knee injury, and the Jets filled his roster spot with 24-year-old Payton Page.
The New York Jets placed defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat on injured reserve Saturday, signing defensive tackle Payton Page to the active roster.
Sweat suffered a knee injury late in the second quarter of last Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, prompting Head coach Aaron Glenn to rule him out Friday.
Defensive metrics reveal the unit's rush success rate allowed jumps from 38% with Sweat on the field to 52% without him, illustrating the impact of the 17-tackle defender.
Because injured reserve requires a four-game minimum absence, Sweat is first eligible to return against the Miami Dolphins on November 29, while rookie Darrell Jackson Jr. and veteran Jack Heflin will see increased snaps.
The team faces the Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, and Buffalo Bills while Sweat recovers, managing concurrent injuries to edge rushers David Bailey and Joseph Ossai.
