Jets to activate T'Vondre Sweat from NFI list

The New York Jets plan to activate defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat from the non-football injury list and begin practice, ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports. Sweat is returning from a hamstring injury suffered ahead of training camp. The Jets intend to ease him back into football work over the course of the week, then re-evaluate him before progressing to a full workload. New York acquired Sweat in the offseason trade that sent linebacker Jermaine Johnson elsewhere. With his activation, Sweat is expected to compete for and potentially fill a starting role on the defensive front this season.
