Onwuasor (knee) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor should make his Jets debut Sunday against the Chargers, as the offseason signing has spent the entire campaign on IR up to this point. The former Ravens linebacker will likely rotate with Neville Hewitt and Harvey Langi, though Blake Cashman (hamstring) should also have a role if healthy.

Onwuasor (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor was expected to start at inside linebacker for the Jets after spending four years in Baltimore, but he ended up on injured reserve to begin the year. If practice goes well this week, he could return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If he can't go, however, Neville Hewitt and Avery Williamson should continue starting at the position.

The Jets placed Onwuasor (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor was poised to log a major workload at inside linebacker with the Jets this year, but he's expected to miss at least the first month of the season with a knee injury. He'll be required to sit out the first three weeks at a minimum. For the time being, Neville Hewitt and Blake Cashman are expected to start while Avery Williamson rotates in.

Head coach Adam Gase said Onwuasor (knee) will miss 4-to-5 weeks, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets' defense took a self-inflicted hit by trading away Jamal Adams, and now they'll be without their starting inside linebacker for the first month. Blake Cashman and James Burgess (lower back) are next up for the starting gig, but Avery Williamson could make a push for the job as well.

Onwuasor sustained a knee injury during Saturday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets are relying on Onwuasor to handle a key depth role at inside linebacker, following C.J. Mosley's decision to opt out, so it'll be worth monitoring how long he's forced to remain sidelined.

Onwuasor agreed to terms Wednesday on a contract with the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor saw his usage in Baltimore dwindle down the stretch of the 2019 campaign, after he returned from a high-ankle sprain sustained early October, but he stands to be fully healthy in time to kick off the 2020 regular season. Considering the Jets' lack of depth at inside linebacker behind starters C.J. Mosley (groin) and Avery Williamson (knee), both of whom are recovering from substantial injuries, he could be in line for a significant role on defense.

Onwuasor had 64 tackles (48 solo), three sacks, one defended pass and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season contests in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor opened the season playing 90-plus percent of defensive snaps before a high-ankle caused him to miss two games in early October. Upon returning from the injury, however, his involvement on defense dwindled to a rotational role. He only exceeded 30 snaps on defense once during the campaign's final nine regular-season games. The 27-year-old will certainly benefit from an entire offseason to get healthy.

Onwuasor (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Onwausor is still dealing with a high-ankle sprain related to the issue that caused him to miss two contests in October. It's unclear what sort of role Onwuasor will have in the defense, but the 27-year-old hasn't seen more than 30 defensive snaps in any of the last four games.

Onwuasor (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Onwuasor was listed as a full participant in Friday's walk-through practice, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up in Buffalo on Sunday. The 27-year-old is nursing a high-ankle sprain related to the issue that caused him to miss two games in October. In the event that Onwuasor manages to suit up Week 14, he could realistically be limited or have a cap on his reps.

Coach John Harbaugh said Onwuasor is dealing with a high-ankle sprain but it's not "serious," Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harbaugh relayed that this issue is related to the ankle injury that forced Onwuasor to miss two games in October, as the linebacker appeared hobbled a few times during this past Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers. The 27-year-old has been able to play through it, but he's been limited. Before the injury, Onwuasor was an every-down player, but he hasn't surpassed a 42-percent snap share over the past five games.
