MICHEAL CLEMONS NEWS

Career year in 2024 Clemons tallied 34 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 17 games in 2024.

Impact The third-year pro from Texas A&M started all 17 of the Jets' games this season and set a new career high in sacks, solidifying himself as one of New York's best edge rushers. Clemons began to see less defensive work once Haason Reddick returned from his contract dispute in Week 8, but he still logged a career-high 581 defensive snaps played this season. Heading into the final season of his rookie deal in 2025, Clemons has accumulated 97 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 49 games with the Jets over the past three years.

Gets another sack Clemons recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-17 loss against the Vikings.

Impact Clemons' 1.0 sacks 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 any time soon.

Suiting up at Tennessee Clemons (triceps) is active for Sunday's game at the Titans.

Impact 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.

Officially questionable for Sunday Clemons (triceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

Will suit up vs. Titans 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.

Impact 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.

Gets downgraded Clemons (triceps) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact 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.
