Jets' Will McDonald: Unavailable for Week 2
McDonald (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
A rookie first-round pick, McDonald recorded one tackle across 13 offensive snaps in Week 1, but he won't suit up in Week 2. This comes as a bit of a surprise, but it appears McDonald is near the bottom of the depth chart for the time being.

Jets' Will McDonald: Notches sack in shutout win
McDonald recorded one sack and two quarterback hits in Saturday's 27-0 preseason win over the Panthers.
McDonald had three tackles and a quarterback hit in his NFL debut the previous week, so the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has shown some intriguing ability to get to the passer. McDonald's speed and bend off the edge give him a high ceiling as a pass rusher, but with questions about how he'll hold up in run defense at just 239 pounds, the rookie will likely begin his career as a situational rusher rather than an every-down player.

Jets' Will McDonald: Returns to practice Tuesday
McDonald (leg) practiced Tuesday, Ralph Ventre of SI.com reports.
The rookie first-round pick was sidelined for the first couple practices of training camp due to a leg contusion, but he was back on the field for Tuesday's padded session. Per Ventre, McDonald stood out during his first action and is on track to be part of the Jets' edge rusher rotation in 2023. The Iowa State product was a three-time All-Big 12 First-Team honoree and totaled 34 sacks across five collegiate seasons.

Jets' Will McDonald: Dealing with leg contusion
McDonald (leg) did not practice Friday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
McDonald was on the sidelines with a leg contusion that he suffered at Thursday's practice, but head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that he expects the rookie to "be back soon." The 24-year-old is expected to be a top reserve option behind John Franklin-Myers and Carl Lawson on New York's defensive line in 2023.
