New York Jets pass rusher Braiden McGregor will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.
The Jets (1-3) fell 23-12 to the Chicago Bears (3-1) in Week 4 and McGregor exited the contest early because of injury. As it turns out, it's a pectoral injury that is of the long-term variety.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, McGregor is out for the rest of the 2026 season:

In four games this season, the 25-year-old had recorded seven tackles (two solo, five assisted), including two on Sunday.
McGregor was playing in a rotational role on the Jets' defensive line this season before his injury.
