Placed on injured reserve The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

Impact McCrary-Ball will see his second stint on injured reserve of the season after missing Week 4 through Week 11 with a hamstring injury as well. The linebacker was active versus the Ravens in Week 12, playing 92 percent of special teams snaps. He also contributed 29 defensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps to the Jets' Week 13 victory over the Falcons before once again succumbing to hamstring issues. The 26-year-old will have to spend at least the next four weeks on IR, with his only possible remaining appearance for the 2025 regular season being Week 18 against the Bills.

Won't play Sunday Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that McCrary-Ball (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Impact The 26-year-old returned from a seven-game absence in the Jets' Week 13 win over the Falcons, playing 29 defensive snaps and recording five total tackles. However, it now appears he's still dealing with a hamstring injury, as Glenn has already ruled him out for the Week 14 divisional matchup. While McCrary-Ball is sidelined again Sunday, Mykal Walker and Kobe King could have expanded roles in the Jets' linebacker corps.

Officially active for Week 12 McCrary-Ball (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact The Jets activated McCrary-Ball from injured reserve Saturday, and he has been officially cleared to return from a seven-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He gives the Jets additional depth at outside linebacker and another contributor on special teams.

Activated from injured reserve The Jets activated McCrary-Ball (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Impact McCrary-Ball is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his activation off IR indicates that he should return after missing the Jets' last seven games due to a hamstring injury. He logged 17 tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble in the three regular-season games prior to his injury while contributing on both defense and special teams.

Designated for return from IR The Jets designated McCrary-Ball (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Monday.

Impact The move opens McCrary-Ball's 21-day practice window after he was injured in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. Prior to going down, McCrary-Ball had logged 77 defensive snaps and another 75 on special teams through three contests.

Placed on IR The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact McCrary-Ball picked up the injury during the Jets' 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers, but he was able to play through the issue and finished with seven tackles (two solo). Further tests revealed the severity of the injury, and by being placed on IR, McCrary-Ball will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 8 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 26 the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated. Quincy Williams (shoulder) was also placed on IR, so the Jets will be forced to turn to Francisco Mauigoa, Cam Jones and rookie fifth-rounder Mark Robinson to fill in at outside linebacker.

Impact The linebacker finished with five tackles (one solo) in the game. McCrary-Ball now has 15 tackles (seven solo) on the year. His injury will be worth monitoring as the practice week goes on, though Jets coach Aaron Glenn said after Sunday's contest that the linebacker would be "okay," per Cimini.
