Jets Put Joseph Ossai on Active PUP List

Placing the $34.5 million free-agent signing on active/PUP raises short-term availability questions that the team says it is treating as a minor issue.

Overview

  • The Jets placed edge rusher Joseph Ossai on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list after he failed a team physical on July 28 for an undisclosed reason.
  • Players on active/PUP count toward the 90-man training-camp roster, can be activated at any time during camp but cannot be returned to the list, and face specific options at final roster cutdowns.
  • The team moved wide receiver Tim Patrick back to the active roster while nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat was placed on the non-football-injury list for a hamstring issue that is not considered serious and Tyler Baron remains on PUP rehabbing a knee.
  • Ossai signed a three-year, $34.5 million deal with $22.49 million guaranteed and was valued for career-best pressure and run-defense marks in 2025, which makes his short-term status important to the Jets' front seven plans.
  • Local reporters and team insiders characterize Ossai's issue as minor and likely short-lived, so the Jets are expected to monitor his clearance and adjust depth at the edge position ahead of final roster decisions.
