The Jets placed Baron (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Susanna Welr of the team's official site reports.
Baron suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of New York's loss to the Dolphins in Week 14 and will miss the remainder of the season as a result. Across six regular-season appearances, the rookie fifth-round pick racked up nine tackles (five solo), including one tackle for a loss.

Baron (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Jets' Tyler Baron: Edge rusher joins Jets
Rotowire
The Jets selected Baron in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 176th overall.
Baron enjoyed an impressive 2025 NFL Combine, highlighted by a 4.62 40-yard dash and 36-inch vertical jump at 6-foot-5, 258 pounds. His production was solid during his final two college seasons at Tennessee and Miami, respectively, and he led the Hurricanes with 11.0 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 2024. Baron needs to work on establishing himself as a run stopper before he can work into a three-down rotation, but his plus athleticism could open the door to a situational pass-rushing role in New York.
