Jets' Sharrod Neasman: Tests positive for COVID-19
Neasman (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Neasman's addition to the COVID list comes on the heels of fellow free safety and starter Elijah Riley entering concussion protocols Monday. If Neasman can return in time for Sunday against the Jaguars and Riley cannot, Neasman will likely be looking at a significant increase in opportunity.

Jets' Sharrod Neasman: Nabs first interception of season
Neasman had two solo tackles, one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday's blowout loss to the Bills.
Neasman handled just 26 percent of defensive snaps versus Buffalo, so despite a notable IDP performance, he still isn't easy to rely on for fantasy value in most formats. Coming up in Week 11, Neasman and the Jets are set for another divisional matchup, this time hosting the Dolphins.

Coach Robert Saleh said it's possible the 29-year-old could be activated and make his Jets' debut during Sunday's game against the Titans.

Neasman (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Neasman was already slated to miss Sunday's season opener due to a hamstring injury, but he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 4 against the Titans.

Neasman (hamstring) did not practice this week and is listed as out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

The UDFA out of Florida Atlantic suited up in all 16 games for the Falcons last season, totaling 289 defensive snaps and 300 special-teams snaps. The Jets are already thin at strong safety with Ashtyn Davis (undisclosed) and Zane Lewis (knee) on IR.

Jets' Sharrod Neasman: Headed to Big Apple
Neasman inked a contract with the Jets on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Neasman suited up in all 16 games with the Falcons last season, recording 27 tackles (19 solo) and a sack over that span. The Florida Atlantic product showed versatility last season, playing 289 snaps on defense and 300 on special teams. Look for the veteran to handle a similar role in New York should he make the roster out of training camp.

Falcons' Sharrod Neasman: Appears in all 16 games for Atlanta
Neasman, who registered four tackles during Atlanta's 44-27 Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers, wrapped up the 2020 campaign with 27 tackles and one sack over 16 games.
Neasman took on an enhanced defensive role as the year wore on, twice collecting 97-plus percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps over the final quarter of the regular season. Weeks 1 through 13, he only once garnered more than 40 percent of the workload, but injuries to Damontae Kazee (Achilles) and Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps) opened up secondary snaps down the stretch. Having played all 57 of his career NFL games as a member of the Falcons, Neasman will now prepare to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Falcons' Sharrod Neasman: Collects Week 15 sack of Brady
Neasman collected eight tackles and a sack during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
Starting at free safety for a second consecutive game in place of the injured Ricardo Allen (concussion), Neasman finished behind only Deion Jones (10) in tackles among Falcons defenders. The 29-year-old's second-quarter sack of Tom Brady, meanwhile, forced a Tampa Bay punt. Despite Weeks 14 and 15 marking the first starts of Neasman's five-year career with Atlanta, he's held up reasonably well in coverage by containing opponents to a 89.6 passer rating over a limited sample of six targets.

Neasman signed a one-year contract with the Falcons on Friday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

Falcons' Sharrod Neasman: Plays integral special teams role
Neasman appeared in 15 games this season and recorded four tackles and one fumble recovery.
After obliterating career highs by collecting 44 tackles and four pass deflections during 2018, the fourth-year pro out of Florida Atlantic logged just 12 defensive snaps during all of 2019, though he did garner at least two-thirds of the special-teams snaps in 14 of his 15 outings. Neasman will become an unrestricted free agent upon the expiration of his two-year, $1.35 million contract in March.
