46 Neville Hewitt ILB

Hewitt racked up seven solo tackles in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots and finishes the year with a team-high 134 tackles.

Hewitt also picked up two sacks as the leader of New York's depleted linebacker corps while blowing his previous high of 75 tackles out of the water. The Jets will likely look to bring back the free agent this offseason to pair Hewitt with C.J. Mosley, who is expected to return after opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. There's room for both players to start at inside linebacker in the Jets' 3-4 scheme.

Hewitt totaled a team-high 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

Hewitt helped the Jets keep Los Angeles' rushing attack in check, as the Rams' three running backs combined for 65 rushing yards on 17 carries. The 27-year-old linebacker has 122 tackles with two games to play.

Hewitt racked up nine tackles (eight solo) and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 40-3 loss to Seattle.

Hewitt tied fellow linebacker Harvey Langi for the team lead in tackles. He has been one of the few consistently productive players for the winless Jets.

Hewitt compiled 12 tackles (nine solo), a sack and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

Hewitt was the Jets' leading tackler, as the team limited a Vegas running game that struggled without Josh Jacobs (ankle). The secondary didn't hold up its end of the bargain, however, surrendering three passing touchdowns to Derek Carr, including a 46-yarder to Henry Ruggs with five seconds to go. Hewitt has 103 tackles through 12 games and has chipped in a sack in each of the last two.

Hewitt registered six tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and a 17-yard fumble-recovery return during Sunday's 20-3 loss the Dolphins.

Hewitt was a one-man wrecking crew once again Week 12, notching a sack-forced fumble on Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the third quarter, and scooping up a Patrick Laird fumble for a sizeable return two Dolphins possessions later. Hewitt has already smashed his previous career high in tackles (75) by reaching 91 with five games still remaining in the regular-season slate. He has 27 starts to his name as a member of the Jets the past three seasons, after starting just seven games for Miami over his first three years in the league.

Hewitt racked up 11 tackles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

Hewitt was one of three Jets defenders to record double-digit tackles as the Chargers dominated time of possession, joining Harvey Langi and Ashtyn Davis. The 27-year-old linebacker has already set a new career high with 85 tackles and still has six games left to build on that total, starting with a Week 12 tilt against Miami.

Hewitt recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

Hewitt's up to 67 tackles through eight games, as New York's defense continues to spend the majority of the game on the field, with the offense failing to hold up its end of the bargain. Fellow linebacker Avery Williamson, who had one more tackle than Hewitt in this one, was traded to Pittsburgh later Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports, so Hewitt could have even more tackle opportunities moving forward.

Hewitt finished with 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.

Hewitt tied fellow middle linebacker Avery Williamson for the team lead in tackles and set a new career high in the category. He has 59 tackles this season and is primed to make a sizable addition to that total in Week 8 against a Chiefs team that will likely dominate in time of possession.

Hewitt recorded 10 tackles (four solo), a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Hewitt continues to rack up the tackles on a Jets defense that struggles to get off the field. He's up to 39 tackles through five games, putting Hewitt more than halfway to the career-high 75 he totaled last season.

Hewitt had one tackle for loss among his team-high nine tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 37-28 loss to the Broncos.

Hewitt has been an active tackler for New York, racking up 29 tackles through four weeks and at least six in every game. The 27-year-old linebacker is a steady presence in a defense that's prone to major mistakes at many of its other positions.

Hewitt posted eight tackles and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-27 loss to the Bills.

Hewitt played every defensive snap in Sunday's divisional loss, and with the Jets' linebacker corps banged up, Hewitt stepped up. He recorded eight or more tackles in just four of 12 games last season, but with Avery Williamson (hamstring) and Blake Cashman (groin) potentially missing Week 2's game versus the 49ers, Hewitt could log another full workload and be a valuable IDP presence.

Hewitt re-signed with the Jets on Friday on a one-year, $2 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hewitt will rejoin New York's linebacker corps, where he stands to kick off the 2020 campaign as a backup option behind C.J. Mosley (groin) and Avery Williamson (knee). With injury concerns still lingering around both interior starters, however, the 27-year-old could possess some upside as a stash in IDP formats.

Hewitt recorded four tackles and a pass defensed in Week 17 against the Bills. He finishes the season with 75 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.

Thrust into a larger role by season-ending injuries to C.J. Mosley and Avery Williamson, Hewitt showed some promise as a coverage linebacker and set new career highs in tackles, sacks and interceptions. The 26-year-old inside linebacker picked a great time to have a career season, as he's set to hit unrestricted free agency.

Hewitt recorded eight tackles (six solo) and one sack in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Jets.

Hewitt was on the field for 57 of a possible 67 snaps. His season sack total is now up to 3.0 with one more week to play. He will look to carry that momentum in to Sunday's season finale against the Bills.

Hewitt had five solo tackles during Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens.

The Jets had minimal success slowing down QB Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's offense, which averaged 7.3 yards per play. Hewitt has been limited as an IDP option of late and is averaging 5.2 tackles despite missing only a handful of defensive snaps over the last five games.

Hewitt recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.

It was a second straight solid game for Hewitt. He has made 12 tackles (seven solo) to go with two pass breakups and an interception in two games since returning from a neck injury.

Hewitt made five tackles (three solo) and intercepted a pass in Sunday's win over Washington.

Hewitt returned after missing four games due to a neck injury and didn't miss a beat, intercepting his second pass attempt of the season. The 26-year-old played all 68 snaps on defense and should be good to go moving forward.

Hewitt (neck) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Redskins.

Hewitt will take the field for the first time since Week 6 when he suffered a stinger. The fifth-year linebacker is expected to slot in at starting inside linebacker, and he has solid IDP aptitude with 37 tackles (23 solo), two sacks and two pass breakups through five contests.

Hewitt (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Redskins.

Hewitt has not played since Week 6, as he has been nursing a neck injury. His limited participation at practice all week seems to indicate he is trending in the right direction, but we will not know his status for sure until closer to game time.

Hewitt (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Hewitt was tagged as doubtful for this contest, so it's not surprising he's unable to go. Both of the Jets' inside linebackers will be sitting out since C.J. Mosley (groin) is in the midst of an extended absence. Paul Worrilow and James Burgess figure to start in their places Sunday.
