  • Minimal production in Week 13 win

    Sherwood posted four tackles (one solo) and a pass defense during the Jets' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a somewhat disappointing performance from a fantasy perspective for Sherwood, who finished Sunday's game with a season-low four tackles despite playing every single defensive snap. He has logged double-digit tackles in six of 12 regular-season games, though he's reached that mark only once over his last five outings. Sherwood was in early contention for the title as the league's combined tackles leader, but he now sits tied with Nate Landman and Carson Schwesinger for the eighth most…read more

  • Matches season high in tackles

    Sherwood recorded 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: This marked Sherwood's third game with 13 tackles this season, marking his best of the campaign. Only three solo stops with no peripheral stats detracted from the fantasy performance a bit, but he's still a very strong source of tackles, having already accrued 102 in 11 games.

    Analysis: Sherwood failed to reach double-digit stops for the second straight game after having reached at least 10 tackles in five of six contests between Week 2 and Week 7.

  • Snap count dips in Week 8 win

    Sherwood logged five tackles (two solo) and one pass defense during the Jets' 39-38 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Sherwood played every single defensive snap through the first seven games of the regular season, but he logged just 41 of 59 defensive snaps (69.5 percent) during Sunday's comeback win. The reason for his dip in playing time isn't clear, but it should be worth monitoring as the Jets head into their Week 9 bye. Sherwood is up to 75 total tackles across eight regular-season games, which is tied with Tennessee's Cedric Gray for second most in the NFL behind Miami's Jordyn Brooks (85).

    Analysis: Sherwood led New York in tackles and racked up double-digit stops for the second straight week.

    Sherwood recorded six total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Sherwood tied for the team lead in total tackles Sunday, matching Quincy Williams and Tony Adams with six stops. He played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps after inking a three-year, $45 million deal to remain with the Jets in March. Coming off a 2024 campaign in which he recorded 158 total tackles through 17 games, Sherwood's tackle output is expected to increase as the Jets take on the Bills in Week 2.

  • Signs new deal with New York

    Sherwood and the Jets agreed on a three-year, $45 million contract with $30 million fully guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Sherwood will stick around New York after spending the first four years of his career with the Jets, most recently compiling a career-high 158 total tackles (98 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 17 regular-season games in 2024. With fellow middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) expected to return in 2025 after missing 13 games in 2024, Sherwood may see a dip in production following his impressive year.

  • Breaks out ahead of free agency

    Sherwood finished the 2024 season with 2.0 sacks among his 158 tackles (98 solo), as well as three passes defensed.

    Analysis: After playing primarily as a backup for three years, Sherwood stepped up in his fourth NFL campaign as fellow middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) was limited to only four appearances. Sherwood led the NFL in solo tackles, enjoying a well-timed breakout as the 2021 fifth-round draft pick gets ready to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Given Mosley's advanced age and injury troubles, the Jets will likely be interested in re-signing Sherwood.

    Analysis: Sherwood's 17-tackle effort in Sunday's loss made him the NFL's fourth-leading tackler, having now recorded 97 total stops through the Jets' first 10 games this season.

    Analysis: Sherwood saw plenty of tackling opportunities in a game where the Patriots ran the ball 31 times, and he managed double digits in that category for the third time in his last four games.

    Analysis: Sherwood saw an increase in usage when C.J. Mosley (toe) was forced to exit the contest, playing 54 of the team's 66 total defensive snaps.

  • Dealing with calf problem

    Sherwood (calf) has been listed as questionable to return Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Sherwood was evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the game but now has a calf problem, so the injury bug is not leaving him alone. If he can't return, Del'Shawn Phillips or Noah Dawkins would be in line to see more snaps.

  • Returns Sunday

    Sherwood passed concussion tests and was able to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Quincy Williams (concussion) and Blake Cashman (groin) have already left and were unable to return. Not to mention, C.J. Mosley (hamstring) was inactive today as well. Sherwood, a fifth-round rookie, will continue to try and make the most of his chances of an increased snap load.

  • Might not return Sunday

    Sherwood (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.
