Ossai Injury Hits Jets Defense Hard | New York Jets News

Jets’ edge rusher Joseph Ossai’s season debut is in jeopardy after rupturing his plantar fascia in the final preseason game — a brutal foot injury that sidelines him “week to week.” Despite starting camp on the PUP list and returning strong enough to sack the QB in practice, the 2026 third-round pick (who had 5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles with the Bengals) now faces a major setback for a defense counting on him to energize the pass rush alongside David Bailey and Will McDonald IV. Coach Aaron Glenn offers a glimmer of hope: a full rupture might actually ease recovery pressure — but fans are already bracing for a diminished impact on what was expected to be a formidable defensive unit.
