The season ending injury suffered by Jets pass rusher Carl Lawson will undoubtedly sting for the 2021 season. After weeks of one report after another lauding Lawson for what was often described as a “dominant” training camp, the high-priced edge rusher will be spending his first season as a Jet on the shelf with a ruptured achilles. It’s a tough break for Lawson, but an opportunity for defensive end Bryce Huff.
An undrafted free agent out of Memphis, Huff was already looking at an expanded role this season and showed why with a pair of sacks in the Jets win against the Giants last weekend.
