Jets activate 366-pound defensive monster ahead of 2026 season

The New York Jets activated defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat from the active/non-football injury list on Saturday, clearing the way for him to work with the team after a hamstring issue limited him for the start of training camp. The 6-foot-4, 366-pound nose tackle joined New York in an offseason trade with the Tennessee Titans, acquired in exchange for edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. Sweat is expected to bolster a revamped interior that also includes veterans Harrison Phillips, David Onyemata, Jowon Briggs, Will McDonald, Joseph Ossai and Kingsley Enagbare. First-round pick David Bailey is also slated for a major role.
