Micheal Clemons - 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.

Will McDonald IV - Gets to the quarterback Sunday McDonald recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-17 loss against the Vikings.
Impact McDonald's sack came on a third-and-one deep in Jets territory to force Minnesota to settle for a field goal. He was causing problems for Sam Darnold that didn't show up on the stat sheet too, and it looks like he's found his footing as a pass rusher early in his second year. He brings some IDP allure into a Week 6 matchup versus Buffalo.

Jamien Sherwood - Jets' leading tackler Sunday Sherwood recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 23-17 loss against the Vikings.
Impact Sherwood saw a season-high 64 defensive snaps in Week 5, and he tied his season-high tackle total. He's currently on pace for the first 100-tackle season of his career, and he'll have some IDP appeal in Week 6 if C.J. Mosley (toe) remains out.

Aaron Rodgers - Ankle injury not overly concerning Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Rodgers' sprained left ankle will be examined further, but the Jets have been encouraged by all the preliminary evaluations of the injury,...
Impact Rodgers is tending to a low-ankle sprain, which he appeared to sustain when he took a big hit from a defender while tossing an incomplete pass to Breece Hall on 3rd-and-10 with 6:11 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikigns. However, after a roughing the punter penalty extended the Jets' drive, Rodgers returned to the field for the next offensive play and ended up playing all 71 snaps in the loss, completing 29 of 54 attempts for two touchdowns, three interceptions and 244 yards. Though Saleh's comments suggest that the expectation is that Rodgers will be good to go for the Jets' Week 6 game Monday against the Bills, the veteran quarterback's practice participation could still be managed leading up to the contest.

NFL Week 5 highlights: Cowboys top Steelers late, Vikings win early
Week 5 of the NFL is loaded with great matchups, including an early Jets-Vikings tilt in London. Check out the highlights here!OCTOBER 7
Greg Zuerlein - Another light workload Zuerlein connected on his only field-goal attempt and made both PAT tries in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Zuerlein connected from 32 yards in the third quarter after the Jets forewent what would have been a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter in favor of a pitiful attempt to pick up fourth-and-2 on the ground. That decision proved costly, as it forced the Jets to go for a touchdown down by six on their final possession after once again working their way into field-goal range. Zuerlein has made multiple field goals only once through five games.

Xavier Gipson - No targets in London loss Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings and returned two punts for 31 yards.
Impact Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 times, but none of those passes were directed at Gipson, as the Jets utilized Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams in three-receiver sets. Gipson contributed to the Jets' comeback bid with a 31-yard punt return, which helped set up New York's first touchdown late in the first half. He's a good special teams player but doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Williams - Held to two catches in London Williams caught two of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Williams' lack of involvement was discouraging considering Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 yards as the Jets went pass-heavy in an attempt to dig out of a 17-0 hole. The veteran wide receiver tied with Breece Hall for a distant fourth in targets behind Garrett Wilson's 22, Allen Lazard' 10 and Tyler Conklin's nine. Despite Lazard's frequent drops, he and Wilson have seen much more consistent attention from Rodgers than Williams has. Up next for Williams and the Jets is a pivotal Week 6 home game against the Bills on Monday Night Football.
