Clemons recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. The defensive end also played on 58 percent of the defensive snaps. Clemons has 26 tackles (13 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.
Clemons recorded two tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 23-17 loss against the Vikings. Clemons' sack in Week 5 brought his season total up to 2.5, which already ties the career high he set back in 2022. With Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) on injured reserve and Haason Reddick still missing time due to a contract dispute, Clemons' starting role doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Clemons is expected to start Thursday's divisional matchup against the Patriots with Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) out for the season and Haason Reddick (contract dispute) continuing to hold out, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports, Clemons played 43 percent and 50 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps in first two games of the season, respectively, recording two tackles (one solo) including 1.0 sacks in Week 1 against the 49ers and one solo tackle versus the Titans in Week 2. Now primed for a start across from Will McDonald, Clemons faces a solid opportunity to take advantage of New England's struggling O-line and continue building his sack total versus Jacoby Brissett.
Clemons (triceps) is active for Sunday's game at the Titans. As expected, Clemons will be ready to suit up for the Jets' contest in Week 2. He figures to play a rotational role on the edge Sunday along with Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald.
Clemons (triceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters earlier Friday that Clemons will suit up for Sunday's affair, but the team's injury report released later that day lists him as questionable. If the 27-year-old is unable to go in Week 2, expect Takkarist McKinley and 2023 first-round pick Will McDonald to see increased work on the Jets' defensive line.
Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Clemons (triceps) will practice in full and is ready for Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Clemons was limited in practice Thursday due to a triceps issue, but he's ready to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against Tennessee. The 27-year-old defensive end played 43 percent of defensive snaps during Monday night's loss to the 49ers, tallying two tackles (one solo) and 1.0 sacks.
Clemons (triceps) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Clemons was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. A late-week downgrade usually doesn't lead to positive results for a player suiting up on gameday, but considering he was able to practice in a limited fashion, it might not be all bad for the 27-year-old. If he is unable to suit up, the team may have to lean on Takkarist McKinley and Will McDonald more to help generate a pass rush against the Titans.
