Overview
- The Jets activated T'Vondre Sweat from the active/non-football injury list after he passed a physical on Saturday, clearing the way for him to resume team activities.
- Sweat sustained a hamstring injury between mandatory minicamp and training camp and was placed on the NFI list on July 25, which kept him out of early camp work.
- Listed at 6-foot-4 and 366 pounds, Sweat is a space-eating interior tackle who had 85 tackles and three sacks across 29 games with Tennessee and is valued for stopping the run.
- His absence gave increased snaps to fourth-round pick Darrell Jackson Jr., and Sweat's return will alter the interior rotation that includes Harrison Phillips and David Onyemata.
- The Jets say he will be eased back into practice and re-evaluated at the end of the week, giving him nearly a month to build game condition before the Sept. 13 game in Tennessee.
