Watts (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Watts was a full participant in practice all week, and the avoidance of an injury designation means the defensive end was able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old will retake his role as a rotational edge rusher behind starters Braiden McGregor and Jermaine Johnson.

Watts (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Watts was not cleared to practice all week while in the league's concussion protocol, and he'll look to progress enough to be available for the Jets' Week 17 home tilt against the Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 28. Micheal Clemons and Braiden McGregor should both see a slight uptick in defensive snaps Sunday in Watts' absence.

Watts (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Jets' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watts suffered a concussion in the team's loss to the Jaguars in Week 15, and his inability to participate to open the week comes as no surprise. The defensive end will have to clear concussion protocol to play in Week 16, and that seems like quite the uphill battle at the moment.

Watts (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

With Watts done for the day, Micheal Clemons should see a small uptick in defensive snaps for the rest of Sunday's game. Watts was signed to the Jets' active roster Wednesday after starting the regular season on the team's practice squad.
