David Bailey — Questionable
Bailey sustained injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins but was able to finish the game, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Bailey will be evaluated throughout the week before the team determines his availability for this Sunday's matchup with the Raiders. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Bailey leads all rookies with 5.5 sacks and is tied with Carl Granderson, Elijah Ponder and T.J. Watt for fifth-most in the NFL.
David Bailey — Active
The Browns' offensive line had trouble containing Bailey and the Jets' pass rush Sunday, with New York sacking Deshaun Watson eight times. Three of those sacks were credited to Bailey, two of which were on third down and forced the Browns to punt on the next play. The Week 5 effort was the performance that the Jets were hoping to see out of the second overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bailey is up to 5.0 sacks through five regular-season games, which leads the Jets and is tied with D.J. Wonnum for fourth most in the NFL behind Will Anderson (7.5), Greg Rousseau (6.0) and Dallas Turner (5.5).
