The Jets signed McGovern (kneecap) to the practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern suffered a dislocated kneecap in Week 7 last season, and he finished the campaign on injured reserve. He was brought in for a tryout with the Jets on Wednesday and he did well enough to catch on with the practice squad, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The 2016 fifth-round pick has started in 55 regular-season games at center for the Jets since 2020.

The Jets placed McGovern (knee) on their injured reserve list Monday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction comes after McGovern sustained a dislocated knee cap during Sunday's game at the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He'll have to miss the Jets' next four games, and in the meantime, Xavier Newman projects to take his place as the starting center, at least as long as Joe Tippmann (quadriceps) is also unavailable.

McGovern, who sustained a knee injury in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win against the Giants, is set to undergo an MRI and is expected to miss time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern was ruled out of Sunday's contest after going down with a knee injury. Rapoport reports that the issue is with his kneecap, and McGovern will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. With McGovern set to miss time and with injuries to Joe Tippmann (thigh) and Wes Schweitzer (calf), Xavier Newman could draw the start at center in Week 9 against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

McGovern (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
With McGovern unlikely to return to Sunday's contest, Wes Schweitzer -- who was starting at guard -- will step in under center.

McGovern and the Jets agreed to a contract Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern was the only Jet to play every offensive snap in 2022, and he'll return as a leader of the offensive line in 2023. With Aaron Rodgers still a possibility to be under center, it's a smart move for New York to retain the experienced veteran center.

McGovern (knee) said Tuesday he's "100 percent," Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern suffered an MCL injury in his knee late December, but he appears to be back to full strength for OTAs. He's expected to serve as the Jets' starting center during the 2022 campaign.

McGovern (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Jaguars. His absence will be significant for the team, as he's started every game and was on the field for 98 percent of offensive snaps this season. Dan Feeney should be in line to start at center across the Jets' final two contests.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said McGovern (knee) sustained an MCL injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars and will miss the rest of the season, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern was fortunate to avoid ACL damage, but he could still need surgery to repair his MCL. Expect the Jets to place him on injured reserve in the coming days. Dan Feeney is his likely replacement as the Jets' starting center.

McGovern (elbow) was a full participant during the Jets' practice session Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGovern played 100 percent of New York's offensive snaps Week 12 against the Dolphins, but he popped up on the injury report Wednesday. Having already returned to taking full repetitions in practice, McGovern is well situated to carry his active games streak into a Week 13 matchup against Las Vegas. He hasn't missed a contest since 2017, and even that absence spanned just one week.
