Further details regarding Lawson and the injury have yet to be revealed but should arrive soon enough.
Lawson is having a tremendous training camp. The Jets signed Carl, one of the more underrated and talented defensive ends in the NFL, to a three-year, $45 million contract in March.
He was to be a clearcut starter on the defensive line, but we’ll see what this injury-related situation entails.
UPDATE: 1:25 p.m. ET
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Lawson is undergoing an MRI on his Achilles, and a tear would mean he’s done for the 2021 season.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network additionally reports Lawson felt a pop.
I was told Lawson reported feeling a pop. The #Jets, for now, are holding their breath. https://t.co/14mAEdMQYP
