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

Jets' Micheal Clemons: Gets downgraded
Rotowire
Clemons (triceps) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Clemons was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. A late-week downgrade usually doesn't bode well for a player's chances of suiting up on game day, but considering Clemons was at least 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 Jets may have to lean on Takkarist McKinley and Will McDonald more to help generate a pass rush against the Titans.
Clemons (ankle) was a full participant at the Jets' practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
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.
