Jets' David Bailey: Dominates Browns in Week 5 win
Rotowire
Bailey recorded seven tackles (five solo), including 3.0 sacks, during the Jets' 17-12 win over the Browns on Sunday.
The Browns' offensive line had trouble containing Bailey and the Jets' pass rush Sunday, with New York sacking Deshaun Watson eight times. Three of those sacks were credited to Bailey, two of which were on third down and forced the Browns to punt on the next play. Week 5 was the performance that the Jets were hoping to see out of the second-overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bailey is up to 5.0 sacks through five regular-season games, which leads the Jets and is tied with DJ Wonnum for fourth-most in the NFL behind Will Anderson (7.5), Greg Rousseau (6.0) and Dallas Turner (5.5).
Bailey (ankle) was cleared to participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com reports.
Bailey was considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury that he picked up during Sunday's practice. The injury wasn't a serious one, and with the rookie first-rounder back on the field Tuesday, it puts him on track to be available for Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

The positive news is that Bailey's injury is considered a day-to-day issue, which head coach Aaron Glenn communicated to reporters following Saturday's practice. Bailey's practice participation over the coming days should shed some light on his chances of playing in Friday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers. He was a first-round selection of the Jets in the 2026 NFL Draft and is expected to start at defensive end opposite Will McDonald.
