Basham finished with five tackles (two solo), a sack, three quarterback hits and two forced fumbles in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Basham consistently got into the Cleveland backfield and made quarterback Baker Mayfield cough the ball up twice. He now has a career-high three sacks and has tied last season's career-best total of 33 tackles with one game to play.

Basham (illness) has been cleared for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Basham missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he's back on track after practicing fully Friday. The fourth-year linebacker out of Ohio hasn't shown much promise as an IDP contributor, as he's posted just 11 tackles and a sack through six games.

Basham (illness) was held out of the Jets' practice session Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It has been confirmed that the 26-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, perhaps shortening the length of his inactive stint. Basham has been playing an integral role for the Jets this season, with an average of 38.2 defensive snaps per game over the first six weeks of 2020. During a 24-0 Week 6 loss to the Dolphins, Basham picked up his first sack of the season. If he can't make it back in time for a Week 7 matchup against Buffalo, Blake Cashman would be in line for additional snaps at outside linebacker.

Basham (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Basham logged limited practices throughout the week with the hip issue before ultimately being designated as questionable. Now healthy, the Ohio product will presumably take over his usual starting role at linebacker for Week 2.

The Jets have ruled Basham (hip) as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Basham logged consecutive limited practices to close the week, so this status is not all that surprising. His availability will presumably depend on how his hip is feeling closer to kickoff. Jordan Willis would likely see an uptick in snaps should Basham ultimately sit out.

Basham (ankle) was a full participant Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of the team's Week 1 matchup against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Basham got in two limited practices earlier in the week prior to logging his first full practice Friday. His lack of an injury designation means he is set to take on a starting role at outside linebacker in the team's Week 1 matchup against the Bills. Basham managed 33 tackles, two sacks and an interception across 16 games in 2019.

Basham (ankle) will be sidelined a few weeks, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Basham suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, and the results of his MRI have now revealed a multiweek recovery timetable. If the 26-year-old is able to retake the field in time for Sept. 13's opener against Buffalo, he stands to handle a key role in New York's linebacker corps.

Basham is set to receive an MRI on the ankle he injured during Tuesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets' initial belief is that Basham is only nursing a sprained ankle, but the official results of his MRI may not be disclosed until later this week. Basham had a career-high 33 tackles with the Jets in 2019, and he could be in line to once again play a key role in the linebacker corps this season if healthy.

Basham finished the 2019 season with 33 tackles, two sacks and an interception.
EDGE Analysis
Basham played in all 16 games and spread his production around, recording no more than five tackles in any single contest. He's under contract for one more year as an inexpensive depth piece for the Jets.

Basham (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Basham was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins due to a knee injury, but appears to have fully recovered. The second-year defensive end appears on track for the Jets' matchup against New Orleans in Week 10, and is expected to play a rotational role.
