The New York Jets expect defensive end Carl Lawson now to be set and ready to go by opening day, according to ESPN’s Flight Deck podcast.
After signing in New York last offseason, Lawson suffered an Achilles injury during training camp. It caused him to miss his entire first season with the team.
Regardless of sport, an Achilles issue is always known as one of the most serious injuries an athlete can suffer. However, Lawson is reportedly “expected to be better by opening day” in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens.
