Jets Put Tim Patrick and Tyler Baron on PUP, Add T’Vondre Sweat to NFI Ahead of Training Camp

The roster designations reflect cautious handling of recent injuries and will restrict the trio’s immediate practice availability.

Overview

  • The Jets announced late Saturday that veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick and edge rusher Tyler Baron were placed on the active/physically unable to perform list while nose tackle T’Vondre Sweat was placed on the active/non-football-injury list.
  • Active/PUP prevents Patrick and Baron from practicing until the team activates them but keeps them on the 90-man roster, and active/NFI is used for injuries sustained outside team activities with different return rules for Sweat.
  • Patrick, 32, signed a one-year deal with New York in May after catching 15 passes for 187 yards and three touchdowns for Jacksonville in 2025 and carries a history of serious lower-body injuries that explains the cautious approach.
  • Baron is a 2025 fifth-round pick who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 14 as a rookie and logged limited snaps in 2025, a status that complicates his bid to earn meaningful playing time this summer.
  • Sweat was acquired from Tennessee in March in the trade that sent Jermaine Johnson II to the Titans and joins a defensive front that the Jets will evaluate carefully once his hamstring issue is cleared.
