Roster StrengthDefense Rating
Onyemata's multiweek absence removes a veteran interior body from the Jets' defensive-line rotation. Jowon Briggs and Darrell Jackson Jr. are in line for more snaps, thinning the group responsible for holding up inside against the run and keeping the edge rushers out of heavy interior work.
