New York Jets pass rusher Joseph Ossai is dealing with a foot injury sustained during the team's preseason finale against the New York Giants. Head coach Aaron Glenn described the issue as a plantar fasciitis injury, categorizing Ossai as week-to-week for his return. While Glenn noted the diagnosis is preferable to a partial tear, the team is considering moving the defensive player to injured reserve. Such a move would sideline Ossai for at least the first four games of the regular season. This absence forces the Jets to adjust their pass-rushing rotation, potentially opening a spot for practice squad player Nate Lynn to join the active roster. The team previously maintained confidence in the recovery timelines for other players, including Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis, as the club prepares for its regular season opener.
