Jets Place T'Vondre Sweat on Injured Reserve

The New York Jets placed defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games, though the team expects him to return this season. Sweat injured his knee against Miami in Week 7, and the move means his earliest possible return is Week 12. Jowon Briggs and rookie Darrell Jackson Jr. are expected to take on larger roles on the interior defensive line. His absence is a significant setback against the run: the Jets have allowed fewer yards per carry with Sweat on the field than without him.
