Linebacker Avery Williamson’s 2019 season is over.

On Friday ESPN reported that the 27 year old had suffered a torn ACL during the Jets preseason game against the Falcons  on Thursday night and would be out for the season.

Williamson was drafted in the fifth round by the Titans in 2014. He would spend four seasons in Tennessee before signing with the Jets last season. In his five year NFL career Williamson has amassed 497 tackles, 14.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and three interceptions.

Jets signed free agent linebacker Albert McClellan to make up for the loss of Wiliamson.
