The New York Jets struggled in their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, suffering a loss on Monday Night Football. Despite a competitive first half, the Jets' defense faltered, allowing 147 rushing yards, primarily to Jordan Mason, while struggling to pressure quarterback Brock Purdy.

With edge rusher Haason Reddick still in a holdout, discussions have surfaced regarding a potential trade with the Arizona Cardinals, where Reddick had previous success. His return could bolster the Jets’ defense significantly.
