Eric Watts: Gets look from Patriots
Watts (undisclosed) worked out for the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Watts was waived from IR by the Jets with an injury settlement in mid-August and appears to have since recovered from the issue that was affecting him. The defensive end is now looking for a new opportunity after spending the first two years of his career with the Jets, tallying 23 tackles over 18 regular-season games.

Eric Watts: Cut loose by New York
Watts (undisclosed) was waived by the Jets after the two sides reached an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Watts was set to miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign while on injured reserve with the Jets after suffering an undisclosed injury during training camp. The defensive lineman will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll have the ability to pass a physical and play elsewhere this season.

Jets' Eric Watts: Moving to IR
Watts (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to the Jets' injured reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Watts was not claimed by another club after the Jets waived him with an undisclosed injury Wednesday, so he's now in line to spend the entire 2026 season on IR. His absence could open up more practice opportunities for Kingsley Jonathan and Paschal Ekeji.

Eric Watts: Let go by Jets
The Jets waived Watts (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday.
Watts will likely revert to the Jets' injured reserve if he clears waivers. The 25-year-old spent the past two seasons with the Jets, racking up 23 tackles (13 solo) across 18 games. He will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Jets' Eric Watts: Set to suit up
Watts (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Watts was a full participant in practice all week, and the avoidance of an injury designation means the defensive end was able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old will retake his role as a rotational edge rusher behind starters Braiden McGregor and Jermaine Johnson.

Jets' Eric Watts: Not playing Week 16
Watts (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Watts was not cleared to practice all week while in the league's concussion protocol, and he'll look to progress enough to be available for the Jets' Week 17 home tilt against the Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 28. Micheal Clemons and Braiden McGregor should both see a slight uptick in defensive snaps Sunday in Watts' absence.

Jets' Eric Watts: Considered unavailable Wednesday
Watts (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Jets' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Watts suffered a concussion in the team's loss to the Jaguars in Week 15, and his inability to participate to open the week comes as no surprise. The defensive end will have to clear concussion protocol to play in Week 16, and that seems like quite the uphill battle at the moment.

Jets' Eric Watts: Enters concussion protocol
Watts (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Watts done for the day, Micheal Clemons should see a small uptick in defensive snaps for the rest of Sunday's game. Watts was signed to the Jets' active roster Wednesday after starting the regular season on the team's practice squad.
