NY Jets linebacker Avery Williamson will be fighting for his roster spot in the preseason.
The NY Jets‘ roster was dedicated by injuries last season and their awful string of misfortune really started back in the third preseason game when linebacker Avery Williamson went down with a serious knee injury.
Williamson would end up missing the entire 2019 season with a torn ACL — a devastating blow to a defense that was hit hard by injuries. For a player who had missed just one game over the first five years of his NFL career, this must have been heartbreaking.
