Jets' Will McDonald: Two sacks in loss
McDonald recorded three total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
McDonald started off his season with a bang, bringing down quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice in New York's loss. The defensive end compiled 10.5 sacks in 2024 while playing all 17 regular-season games with the team, and he'll have a strong chance at beating that number in 2025 if he can build off of his Week 1 performance.

Jets' Will McDonald: Absent from first injury report
McDonald (knee) isn't included on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com report.
McDonald missed New York's final two preseason contests due to a knee issue, but he appears to now be clear of the issue. The third-year defensive end thus seems to be in line to suit up Week 1 versus the Steelers. McDonald will be tasked with spearheading the Jets' pass rush after leading the team with 10.5 sacks last year.

McDonald didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants due to a knee injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The 15th overall pick in the 2023 Draft, McDonald appeared in all 17 regular-season contests last season, making 15 starts, and finished with 28 tackles (18 solo), including a team-high 10.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Jets' Will McDonald: Logs one tackle in preseason win
McDonald (back spasms) tallied one tackle during Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.
McDonald had his practice level managed early August due to back spasms, but the injury never appeared to be severe enough to impact his game-time availability. The 2023 first-round pick is working to build off a breakout 2024 campaign in which he tallied 10.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, the Jets activated Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) from the active/PUP list Sunday.

Jets' Will McDonald: Leaves practice early
McDonald (back spasms) left practice early Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
McDonald was one of three Jets to leave practice early Tuesday as he dealt with back spasms. The 26-year-old is entering his third season in the league and is becoming an emerging star and one of the premier pass rushers in the league. Last year, he appeared in every game, tallying 10.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss, and is expected to add onto that production this year.

Jets' Will McDonald: Puts on weight
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that McDonald added 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
The 2023 first-round pick from Iowa State is already coming off the best season of his career, posting 28 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks, three passes defended and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games. With a new defensive-minded head coach in Glenn and added muscle, McDonald appears poised to take another step forward and emerge as one of the NFL's top edge rushers in 2025.
