Jets starting inside linebacker Avery Williamson tore his right ACL in Thursday night’s preseason game and is out for the season, a league source confirmed Friday.
Williamson suffered the injury late in the first half of a 22-10 win over the Falcons when cornerback Tevaughn Campbell collided with his teammate’s knee with 3:52 left in the second quarter.
