FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets have activated defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson from the physically unable to perform list after he missed the start of training camp while rehabilitating from a broken leg.

Wilkerson is participating in defensive line drills Tuesday, but isn't expected to play in the preseason opener Thursday night against Jacksonville.

He broke his right leg in the season finale against Buffalo last December. He had a career-high 12 sacks last season and was selected for his first Pro Bowl.

Wilkerson received a contract extension two weeks before training camp began, a deal worth more than $85 million that included $37 million in guarantees through the first two years.

Right tackle Breno Giacomini (back) and wide receiver Devin Smith (knee) are the Jets' only remaining players on active/PUP.
