2 years agoThe New York Jets expect defensive end Carl Lawson (Achilles) to be ready for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens after he suffered an Achilles injury during last year's training camp that caused him to miss all of 2021 in his first season with the team. Early in training camp this summer, the Jets might opt to err on the side of caution and keep Lawson off the field to give him more time to rehab. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $45 million deal before getting injured last year. The former fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 out of Auburn had 5.5 sacks, a career-high 36 tackles (18 solo), four tackles for loss, 32 QB hits and two forced fumbles in 16 games in his last season with the Bengals in 2020. A healthy Lawson would be great news for the Jets defensive line.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
