Career year in 2024 Clemons tallied 34 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 17 games in 2024.

Impact The third-year pro from Texas A&M started all 17 of the Jets' games this season and set a new career high in sacks, solidifying himself as one of New York's best edge rushers. Clemons began to see less defensive work once Haason Reddick returned from his contract dispute in Week 8, but he still logged a career-high 581 defensive snaps played this season. Heading into the final season of his rookie deal in 2025, Clemons has accumulated 97 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 49 games with the Jets over the past three years.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in defeat Clemons recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact The defensive end also played on 58 percent of the defensive snaps. Clemons has 26 tackles (13 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another sack Clemons recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-17 loss against the Vikings.

Impact Clemons' 1.0 sacks in Week 5 brought his season total up to 2.5, which already ties the career high he set back in 2022. With Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) on injured reserve and Haason Reddick still missing time due to a contract dispute, Clemons' starting role doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon.

Appears set for Thursday start Clemons is expected to start Thursday's divisional matchup against the Patriots with Jermaine Johnson (Achilles) out for the season and Haason Reddick (contract dispute) continuing...

Impact Clemons played 43 percent and 50 percent of the Jets' first two games this season, recording two tackles (one solo) including 1.0 sacks in Week 1 against the 49ers, and one solo tackle versus the Titans in Week 2. Now primed for a start across from Will McDonald, Clemons faces a solid opportunity to take advantage of New England's struggling O-line and continue building his sack total versus Jacoby Brissett.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up at Tennessee Clemons (triceps) is active for Sunday's game at the Titans.

Impact As expected, Clemons will be ready to suit up for the Jets' contest in Week 2. He figures to play a rotational role on the edge Sunday along with Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Sunday Clemons (triceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters earlier Friday that Clemons will suit up for Sunday's affair, but the team's injury report released later that day lists him as questionable. If the 27-year-old is unable to go in Week 2, expect Takkarist McKinley and 2023 first-round pick Will McDonald to see increased work on the Jets' defensive line.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up vs. Titans Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Clemons (triceps) will practice in full and is ready for Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clemons was limited in practice Thursday due to a triceps issue, but he's ready to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against Tennessee. The 27-year-old defensive end played 43 percent of defensive snaps during Monday night's loss to the 49ers, tallying two tackles (one solo) and 1.0 sacks.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets downgraded Clemons (triceps) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Clemons was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. A late-week downgrade usually doesn't lead to positive results for a player suiting up on gameday, but considering he was able to practice in a limited fashion, it might not be all bad for the 27-year-old. If he is unable to suit up, the team may have to lean on Takkarist McKinley and Will McDonald more to help generate a pass rush against the Titans.

Healthy ahead of Week 8 Clemons (ankle) was a full participant at the Jets' practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clemons missed the team's Week 6 win over the Eagles while dealing with an ankle injury, but he appears ready to go ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants. The 26-year-old will return to his reserve role at interior defensive line.
