Jaylen Twyman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signed by Gang Green The Jets signed Twyman to a contract Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact The move comes with the Jets placing wide receiver Malik Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve. Twyman was a sixth-round selection by the Vikings in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he has not played a single NFL snap. He was part of Miami's training camp in 2023, but did not make the Dolphins' 53-man roster and was not invited to their practice squad. Twyman will compete for a depth spot on the Jets' defensive line behind starters Quinnen Williams (shoudler) and Javon Kinlaw.

Will begin offseason drills Monday Twyman (pelvis) will begin offseason drills Monday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Twyman missed his entire rookie season on the non-football injury list while recovering from four gun-shot wounds suffered last June. The 2021 sixth-round pick opted out of the 2020 campaign while at Pittsburgh, but he totaled 10.5 sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss in 2019 and, if healthy, is expected to have an opportunity to carve out a sizable role along Minnesota's defensive front in 2022.

Impact Twyman is reportedly making encouraging progress in his recovery from gunshot wounds suffered June 21. The rookie sixth-round pick was able to avoid surgery in his recovery process, and the Vikings reportedly expect him to return to 100 percent health.

Impact The rookie sixth-round pick was visiting family in D.C. and was apparently in the "wrong place, wrong time," according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Twyman is dealing with what Schefter labeled "superficial, exit wounds," so it appears the young defensive tackle avoided any serious injuries. Twyman should be considered questionable entering training camp but is expected to make a full recovery.
