Jets' Leki Fotu: Placed on IR with knee injury
The Jets placed Fotu (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Fotu will be placed on injured reserve for a second time this season, this time due to a knee injury. He missed the first five games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in training camp, but he was able to suit up for Weeks 6 and 7 and logged three tackles (one solo) over that span. His placement on IR means Fotu will have to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return will be Week 14 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 8. In Fotu's absence, Leonard Taylor and Solomon Thomas will serve as the Jets' rotational defensive tackles behind starters Javon Kinlaw and Quinnen Williams.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Missing Week 9
Fotu (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Texans.
It's not surprising that Fotu will be sidelined Thursday night, as the 26-year-old defensive tackle didn't practice all week after missing the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a knee injury. Solomon Thomas is expected to see additional reps as a rotational defensive tackle with Fotu missing Week 9.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Will not suit up Week 8
Fotu (knee) has been deemed out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Fotu began the campaign on IR due to a hamstring injury but was able to return ahead of Week 6. However, the defensive lineman didn't practice at all this week, and he'll miss his sixth game of the season this Sunday. The Jets have a quick turnaround for Week 9 with a Thursday night game against Houston, so Fotu could be in danger of missing that contest as well.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Has chance to play
Fotu (hamstring) could return for Monday's Week 6 matchup against the Bills, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Fotu has yet to play this season after being placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 1. The Utah product returned to practice last week when he was designated to return from IR and appears to be trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 6 against Buffalo.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Has practice window opened
The Jets opened Fotu's (hamstring) practice window Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fotu began the campaign on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that he suffered during the preseason. The defensive tackle has since improved and was able to log a full practice session Wednesday. New York has 21 days to add Fotu to its active roster, at which point the 26-year-old will be eligible to return to game action.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Lands on IR
The Jets placed Fotu (hamstring) on injured reserve, designated to retun Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Fotu played in New York's first preseason contest but subsequently injured his hamstring. There was initially optimism that he'd be ready to return by the start of the regular season, but his placement on IR means the 26-year-old will be forced to miss at least New York's first four games of the campaign. Fotu is likely to play a rotational role on the Jets' defensive line upon his return.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Sidelined by hamstring issue
Fotu will miss the remainder of training camp due to a hamstring injury, but he's expected to be ready to play in Week 1 of the regular season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fotu tallied 22 defensive and five special-teams snaps in New York's first preseason game Aug. 10 versus the Commanders, but he missed the Jets' second exhibition contest Saturday and won't suit up in the team's preseason finale. The fifth-year pro is slated to play a rotational role along New York's defensive line while also contributing on special teams after signing with the team in March following four seasons with Arizona.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Headed to Big Apple
Fotu is slated to sign a contract with the Jets, Billy Riccette of USA Today reports.
Fotu spent the first four seasons of his career with the Cardinals after they selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 Draft. The Utah product appeared in 11 games last season, missing time with a hand injury, but he still managed to record a career-high 2.5 sacks among 28 combined tackles. He'll help bolster the Jets' defensive-line depth in 2024.

Cardinals' Leki Fotu: Won't be activated Week 17
Fotu (hand) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Eagles, Howard Balzer of PHNX reports.
