Jack Heflin Faces Uphill Battle for Spot on Jets' Roster

Defensive lineman Jack Heflin enters training camp as a longshot to make the New York Jets' final roster. After spending the 2025 season on the Rams' practice squad and appearing in only one game, Heflin is currently projected as a training camp body. Wearing number 96, he will need a standout performance during the summer to move up the depth chart and secure a more permanent role within the Jets' defensive rotation for the 2026 season as they count down the roster.
