  • Jets' Lamarcus Joyner: Will end season on IR

    The Jets placed Joyner (hip) on injured reserve Saturday. Joyner had already been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami after aggravating a hip injury Week 17 against Seattle. With the Jets already eliminated from playoff contention, the 32-year-old will look to get healthy again heading into the 2023 offseason. Joyner re-signed with the Jets on a one-year, $2.6 million contract in March of 2022, so he'll be set to hit free agency heading into his 10th professional season.

  • Jets' Lamarcus Joyner: Aiming for Sunday return

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Joyner will return to practice this week after missing both of the last two games due to a hip injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Joyner, who's been sidelined during both of New York's previous two matchups as a result of a hip issue, is now slated to resume practicing this week and possibly reclaim his usual starting safety spot in the New Year's Day matchup versus Seattle. While his activity levels in practice throughout the week should provide further clarification regarding his Week 17 availability, the 32-year-old appears in line to suit up this weekend following the Jets' decision to send down fellow safety Will Parks to the team's practice squad.

  • Jets' Lamarcus Joyner: Sticking with Jets

    Joyner (triceps) re-signed with the Jets on a one-year deal Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Joyner was expected to serve as a starting safety opposite Marcus Maye in the Jets' secondary in 2021. That plan was derailed after Joyner suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the first game of the season. He'll have another chance to make a significant impact in the team's secondary in 2022, especially given the expectation that Maye departs in free agency.

    Joyner (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

    Joyner posted 49 tackles and three pass breakups over 14 games in 2019.
