The New York Jets have placed veteran edge rusher Joseph Ossai on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as training camp begins. Ossai is dealing with a minor injury and will not practice until he passes a physical. This situation adds pressure on rookie David Bailey, the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, to perform well at camp. Bailey, who was drafted to improve the Jets' pass rush, could receive more first-team opportunities during Ossai's absence. The Jets are hopeful that Ossai will return soon to lend his experience to the team's defensive line.
