Jets' Will McDonald: Heading to IR
The Jets placed McDonald (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports.
McDonald was unable to practice all week after suffering a knee injury in the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Saints. The 26-year-old's move to IR ensures he is done for the season, likely giving Braiden McGregor more reps in McDonald's place. The third-year pro accounted for 30 tackles (19 solo), including 8.0 sacks, in 15 games played.

Jets' Will McDonald: Out for Sunday
McDonald (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
The Iowa State product likely sustained a knee injury in the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Saints, and he's now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. McDonald has been a bright spot on New York's defensive line, tallying 30 total tackles, including 8.0 sacks, through 15 appearances this season. Expect Braiden McGregor and Micheal Clemons to fill in for McDonald on the Jets' defensive line in Week 17.

Jets' Will McDonald: Dealing with knee injury
McDonald (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
McDonald may have injured his knee during the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Saints, when he played 65 snaps (57 on defense, eight on special teams) and finished with four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots.

Jets' Will McDonald: Full participant Thursday
McDonald (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
McDonald's upgrade to full participation cleared him of injury designation, and he is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. McDonald has logged at least a 70 percent snap share in each of the last two games, though he may see extra playing time if fellow defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson (ankle) cannot suit up for Sunday's divisional clash.

Jets' Will McDonald: Limited due to ankle issue
McDonald (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
McDonald logged his usual defensive snap share against Atlanta on Sunday, but he appears to have also picked up an ankle injury. It bears monitoring his practice status the remainder of the week, but at this point there's no indication he's dealing with a major issue. McDonald has 7.0 sacks on the season, though 4.0 of those came in one game (versus Cleveland in Week 10).

Jets' Will McDonald: No tackles in Week 12 loss
McDonald registered zero tackles during the Jets' 23-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
McDonald led all Jets defensive linemen with 44 defensive snaps Sunday, but the third-year pro didn't show up on the box score otherwise. He has been one of the more productive defensive linemen for the Jets this season, and he'll look to bounce back this Sunday against the Falcons.

Jets' Will McDonald: Good to go vs. Baltimore
McDonald (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
The third-year defensive lineman will continue to play through a nagging quadriceps injury that limited his practice participation during Week 12 prep. McDonald has accumulated 21 tackles (12 solo), including 7.0 sacks, through 10 regular-season games.

Jets' Will McDonald: Questionable to face Baltimore
McDonald (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
The third-year defensive end missed Wednesday's practice due to a nagging quad issue, but he ended the week with back-to-back limited sessions to draw the questionable tag for Week 12. If McDonald is not cleared to play, then Micheal Clemons, Braiden McGregor and rookie fifth-rounder Tyler Baron would be slated for more defensive snaps opposite starter Jermaine Johnson.

Jets' Will McDonald: Back on injury report
McDonald (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.
McDonald was on the injury report with the same issue ahead of the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Patriots. He still managed to suit up, which bodes well for his availability in Week 12 against the Ravens.

Jets' Will McDonald: Ineffective in Week 11
McDonald tallied one total tackle (none solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.
Although McDonald tallied just one combined tackle in the Jets' Week 11 loss, he pressured Drake Maye three times. McDonald, a third-year edge rusher from Iowa State, is having another productive season, recording 21 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks (4.0 of which came in the Week 10 win over the Browns), across the Jets' first 10 games. He's expected to remain New York's top pass rusher and continue starting opposite Jermaine Johnson in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.
