New York Jets: Williamson lost for season after questionable Gase decision

By: DB Staff

Avery Williamson tore his ACL after new coach, Adam Gase, opted to keep him in the game after the other starters had been sent to the bench on Thursday night in Atlanta.

Gase defended the decision after the game, citing that they wanted to see the former Titan in certain packages before ending his night.

Nevertheless, losing the free agent pickup will be a blow for a new look Jets LB corps that also sports CJ Mosley. Williamson had previously only missed one game since his rookie campaign in 2014. He also notched 80 solo tackles in 2018, including 6 for loss.

Williamson will look to take the field again during the second year of his new $22.5 million deal, $16 million of which is guaranteed.
