Curry (elbow) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks.
Curry closed out the week with a limited practice Friday, but he's still not well enough to suit up. His absence will weaken the Jets' depth on the edges, as well as on special teams.

Jets' Vinny Curry: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Jets placed Curry (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Curry initially signed with the Jets in March of 2021 but missed the entire season after being placed on the reserve/NFI list at the end of August. He'll now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2022 campaign due to a hamstring issue that's lingered since the beginning of training camp. The 2012 second-round pick has totaled 32.5 sacks and 194 tackles across 123 career games, but it's uncertain how productive he'll be after not appearing in a game for over a year.

Jets' Vinny Curry: Absent from camp
Rotowire
Curry (hamstring) was not present at practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
It's a discouraging sign for Curry, who already hasn't seen game action since 2020 thanks to complications that cropped up after a surgery he underwent to remove his spleen before last season. Once he's able to return from the hamstring issue he's now dealing with, he'll compete for a depth role at defensive end behind Carl Lawson and John Franklin-Myers.

Jets' Vinny Curry: Reups with Jets
Rotowire
Curry (illness) re-signed with the Jets on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Curry signed a one-year deal with the Jets last offseason, but he missed all of 2021 due to developing blood clots after having surgery to remove his spleen. The 33-year-old veteran last played in 2020 with the Eagles, where he recorded 16 tackles and three sacks in 11 contests. He'll work to help the Jets pass rush, which was near the bottom of the league with just 33 sacks last season.

Jets' Vinny Curry: Placed on reserve/NFI
Rotowire
The Jets moved Curry to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Coach Robert Saleh said back in July that Curry could be available by Week 2, but his shift to the reserve/NFI list means he will be forced to sit out the first six weeks of the 2021 season. The veteran defensive end appeared in 11 games with the Eagles last season, during which time he racked up 16 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery.

Eagles' Vinny Curry: Lands on COVID list
Rotowire
Curry was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Given this update, Curry has either tested positive for COVID-19 or has come in close contact with someone who has. The Eagles reported a positive test within the building Thursday, shifting a total of five players to the reserve/COVID-19 list in response. If the positive test is confirmed and Curry is sidelined for a minimum of five days per NFL protocol, depth behind Brandon Graham at right defensive end would be reduced heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns.

Eagles' Vinny Curry: Cleared for practice
Rotowire
The Eagles designated Curry (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Curry's 21-day practice window has thus officially opened, though the Eagles likely won't need to evaluate him for that full timeframe before deciding whether to add him to the active roster. The veteran defensive end could retake the field as early as Sunday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Eagles' Vinny Curry: Shakes off injury
Rotowire
Curry (lower body) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and will be ready for Sunday's game versus Washington.
Curry sat out toward the end of training camp with a vague prognosis, but the 32-year-old defensive end appears ready for his ninth season in the league. Last year, he averaged nearly 25 defensive snaps per game, but he could be counted on for a heightened role to begin the 2020 season since Derek Barnett (hamstring) started the practice week with a limited session.

Eagles' Vinny Curry: Getting one-year deal
Rotowire
Curry is signing a one-year contract with the Eagles, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Curry visited with a number of teams since being cut loose from Tampa Bay last month, but he's now officially heading back to the team he won a Super Bowl with just two seasons ago. It's not clear how large a role he'll have in his age-31 season, but Curry nonetheless figures to maintain a key role in the defensive end rotation. His importance would become even more pronounced if Chris Long decides to hang up the cleats.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Cut after one season in Tampa
Rotowire
The Buccaneers are releasing Curry on Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Signed to a three-year, $27 million contract last offseason, Curry managed just 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks across 12 games (seven starts) in his lone season with Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old defensive end may draw interest as a potential starter on the free-agent market, but he'll presumably have to settle for a smaller contract this time around. The Bucs likely will transition to a 3-4 scheme -- or at least a hybrid version -- under new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Solid performance in return
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) totaled four tackles (three solo) and recorded one quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 27-9 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
The veteran defensive end racked up a season high in tackles in his return from missing the Week 11 tilt against the Giants. Curry has been notably hampered by ankle issues during much of the latter portion of the season, which has helped lead to his lowest tackle total (15) since his rookie 2012 campaign. If the 30-year-old can remain healthy the rest of the way, he'll have a chance to help shore up a Bucs pass rush that has significantly improved since Mark Duffner took over defensive coordinator duties from the departed Mike Smith.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Active in Week 12
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 12 tilt against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Curry will get back into action after practicing in full all week. The veteran defensive end has battled an ankle injury through a good chunk of the season, missing four of the last five games in the process. However, he should be playing without a pitch count Sunday and will look to improve on the one sack he's garnered thus far in 2018.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Curry has missed five of the last six games with the ankle issue, but he is on track to return Sunday against the 49ers after facing no limitations Wednesday. The 30-year-old's first year in Tampa Bay has yielded little production thus far, as he has only 11 total tackles and 1.5 sacks in six games.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Redskins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Curry returned from the ankle issue last Sunday against the Panthers, but he apparently aggravated the injury and did not practice this week. Carl Nassib should step into a starter's workload at defensive end for the Buccaneers.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.
Curry spent last week in a walking boot, which naturally led to inactive status in Week 8 against the Bengals. His return to practice Wednesday is certainly a step in the right direction with respect to his chances of suiting up against the Panthers for a key Week 9 divisional clash. Curry's prognosis should become increasingly clearer as the rest of the practice week unfolds.

Rotowire
Curry (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Curry will miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. The veteran defensive end was spotted in an ankle boot in practice this week, and a timetable for his return remains undisclosed. Carl Nassib is expected to slot into the starting lineup once again in Curry's absence.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Ruled out for Week 7
Rotowire
Curry (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Curry's lack of availability is no surprise, considering that the veteran defensive end has yet to participate in practice since suffering an ankle injury during Tampa's loss to the Falcons in Week 6. A recovery timetable for Curry's injury remains undisclosed, but as long as he remains sidelined, expect Carl Nassib to play an increased defensive role.

Buccaneers' Vinny Curry: Likely headed to Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Curry is set to sign with the Bucs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
The news of Curry's three-year deal -- reportedly worth up to $27 million -- comes on the heels of Robert Ayers' release. Curry spent the last six seasons in Philadelphia, where he accumulated 22 sacks over the years. The versatile pass rusher has shown flashes of star potential but has struggled with consistency at times.
