Jets' Marcelino McCrary-Ball: Officially sticking around New York
McCrary-Ball (hamstring) and the Jets agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
McCrary-Ball was tendered by New York as an exclusive right free agent in March, and the two sides officially put pen to paper Wednesday. The linebacker was dealing with a hamstring injury late in the 2025 campaign, but figures to be back to full health by the time the Jets re-take the field. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option behind Francisco Mauigoa (neck) and Mykal Walker in 2026.

Jets' Marcelino McCrary-Ball: Placed on IR
The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
McCrary-Ball picked up the injury during the Jets' 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers, but he was able to play through the issue and finished with seven tackles (two solo). Further tests revealed the severity of the injury, and by being placed on IR, McCrary-Ball will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 8 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 26 the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated. Quincy Williams (shoulder) was also placed on IR, so the Jets will be forced to turn to Mark Robinson, Cam Jones and rookie fifth-rounder Francisco Mauigoa to fill in at outside linebacker.

Jets' Marcelino McCrary-Ball: Has hamstring injury
