Pair of sacks in loss McDonald registered 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact McDonald was able to get to Geno Smith two times in the defeat, notching his third multi-sack performance of the year and first since Week 3. The 25-year-old has now produced 21 total tackles (16 solo), including 10.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed over 12 games this season.

Fills stat sheet in loss McDonald finished with three tackles (three solo), including a tackle for a loss and 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The defensive end also played on 65 percent of the defensive snaps. McDonald has 15 tackles (12 solo), including 8.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed in seven games this season. The 2023 first-round pick recorded just 14 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, in 15 games as a rookie.

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.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Five sacks in last two games McDonald had 2.0 sacks among his three tackles (one solo) and four quarterback hits in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.
Impact McDonald stayed hot after his 3.0-sack breakout in Week 2. With Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) done for the season, McDonald will be counted upon to play a key role on the edge for the Jets, even if Haason Reddick's ongoing contract dispute is resolved at some point.

Three sacks in win McDonald recorded four solo tackles, including 3.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
Impact McDonald lived in Tennessee's backfield, getting to quarterback Will Levis three times, matching his career total in sacks. Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the victory, and with Haason Reddick holding out, McDonald will likely move into a starting role at defensive end moving forward.

Active for Week 11 McDonald (ankle) is active Sunday versus the Bills.
Impact McDonald was forced to miss the team's Week 10 loss to Las Vegas while dealing with an ankle injury, but he'll make his return to the field Sunday against Buffalo. The rookie has recorded two tackles, including a half-sack, over the last two games he's appeared in.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable due to ankle injury McDonald (ankle) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Bills.
Impact McDonald missed the Week 10 loss to Las Vegas due to his knee issue and is in danger of sitting out this coming Sunday as well. He did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week, so he seems to have a chance of suiting up against Buffalo. If he does miss the clash, however, Carl Lawson could potentially get more reps.

Limited on practice estimate McDonald (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Jets' practice estimate Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It seems to be a step in the right direction for McDonald after he sat out of Sunday's loss at Las Vegas. He'll still probably need to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
