Walthall (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Friday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction report.
Now that he's on injured reserve, Walthall will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Jets. Walthall joined the Jets on June 8 after being let go by the Texans four days prior. He spent the last two years of his college career with Incarnate Word but did not hear his name called during the 2026 NFL Draft.
