Jets' Micheal Clemons: Gets another sack
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Micheal Clemons: Officially questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Micheal Clemons: Gets downgraded
Rotowire
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 bode well for a player's chances of suiting up on game day, but considering Clemons was at least 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 Jets may have to lean on Takkarist McKinley and Will McDonald more to help generate a pass rush against the Titans.

Rotowire
The Jets selected Clemons in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 117th overall.
Clemons will be 25 years old by the time Week 1 kicks off, as he spent two years at community college before a five-year stint with Texas A&M. He was productive over his final two seasons with 46 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.
