News

  • Logs full practice

    Hewitt (hamstring) logged a full practice for the Texans on Wednesday.

    Analysis: After missing three straight games with a groin injury, Hewitt appears on track to return Sunday versus the Dolphins. Barring any setbacks, look for him to resume his usual role providing depth at linebacker.

    Published: Wed, Nov 23 at 10:10pm by Rotowire.com

  • Remains out

    Hewitt (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Washington.

    Analysis: Hewitt is slated to miss a third straight game due to a hamstring injury. He's seen only 23 defensive snaps across seven appearances, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Houston's defense.

  • Won't play again Week 10

    Hewitt (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Hewitt was held out of Houston's Week 9 loss to the Eagles on Thursday Night Football with a hamstring injury, and he failed to practice for the second week in a row heading into Sunday's contest. As a result, his next chance to play will come against Washington on Sunday, Nov. 20.

  • Ruled out for TNF

    Hewitt (hamstring) won't play Thursday night against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Hewitt failed to practice Wednesday and will consequently be held out on a short week. He's primarily made it onto the field as part of the special teams unit, totaling six tackles (five solo) through seven contests in 2022.

  • Back with Texans

    Hewitt signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hewitt became a free agent this offseason, but he decided to re-join the team he spent last season with. Hewitt had his moments last season, and his role in 2022 will depend on whether or not the Texans bring in more options at the middle linebacker spot.

  • Back from COVID list

    Hewitt (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hewitt landed on the COVID list Monday but was able to quickly clear the health and safety protocols. He's played every defensive snap the past two games for Houston and has 21 tackles (13 solo) during that stretch.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    The Texans placed Hewitt (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: It's not yet clear whether Hewitt has tested positive for COVID-19 or whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against San Francisco. The 28-year-old has logged double-digit tackles in each of the last two games, but Connor Strachan could see additional playing time if Hewitt, Kamu Grugier-Hill (knee/illness) and Tae Davis (illness) are unavailable Sunday.

  • Double-digit stops in win

    Hewitt had 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-16 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: With Kamu Grugier-Hill and Christian Kirksey sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, Hewitt played all 66 defensive snaps and recorded his second game of the season with double-digit tackles. His last 10-tackle performance came in Week 9, when Kirksey was unavailable due to a thumb injury. Hewitt will likely revert back to his reserve role in Week 16 if Grugier-Hill and Kirksey both clear protocols.

  • Stars in first start

    Hewitt notched 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Christian Kirksey (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, which allowed Hewitt to step into the starting role. He did not disappoint, as he notched a team-high 10 tackles. The 28-year-old linebacker will likely be worth IDP consideration while Kirksey is sidelined.

  • Warming up with first team

    Hewitt is the starting middle linebacker during warmups ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Christian Kirksey (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, which opens up an opportunity for Hewitt to draw the start at middle linebacker. The 28-year-old has played a small role for the Texans so far this season, but he made 134 tackles across 16 appearances for the Jets last season.

  • Finds home in Houston

    The Texans are signing Hewitt to a one-year contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hewitt notched a career-high 134 tackles (91 solo) last season, when injuries thrust him into the lead role among New York's linebacker corps. In his previous five seasons in the league, Hewitt had never surpassed 75 stops. Houston's defensive scheme already boasts two starting inside linebackers in Zach Cunningham and Christian Kirksey, however, so Hewitt stands to return to a depth role for the 2021 season.

  • Finishes season with 134 tackles

    Hewitt racked up seven solo tackles in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots and finishes the year with a team-high 134 tackles.

    Analysis: Hewitt also picked up two sacks as the leader of New York's depleted linebacker corps while blowing his previous high of 75 tackles out of the water. The Jets will likely look to bring back the free agent this offseason to pair Hewitt with C.J. Mosley, who is expected to return after opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. There's room for both players to start at inside linebacker in the Jets' 3-4 scheme.

  • Leading tackler in first win

    Hewitt totaled a team-high 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Hewitt helped the Jets keep Los Angeles' rushing attack in check, as the Rams' three running backs combined for 65 rushing yards on 17 carries. The 27-year-old linebacker has 122 tackles with two games to play.

  • Another strong tackling effort

    Hewitt racked up nine tackles (eight solo) and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 40-3 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Hewitt tied fellow linebacker Harvey Langi for the team lead in tackles. He has been one of the few consistently productive players for the winless Jets.

  • Crosses 100-tackle threshold

    Hewitt compiled 12 tackles (nine solo), a sack and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hewitt was the Jets' leading tackler, as the team limited a Vegas running game that struggled without Josh Jacobs (ankle). The secondary didn't hold up its end of the bargain, however, surrendering three passing touchdowns to Derek Carr, including a 46-yarder to Henry Ruggs with five seconds to go. Hewitt has 103 tackles through 12 games and has chipped in a sack in each of the last two.

  • Notches first sack of 2020

    Hewitt registered six tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and a 17-yard fumble-recovery return during Sunday's 20-3 loss the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hewitt was a one-man wrecking crew once again Week 12, notching a sack-forced fumble on Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the third quarter, and scooping up a Patrick Laird fumble for a sizeable return two Dolphins possessions later. Hewitt has already smashed his previous career high in tackles (75) by reaching 91 with five games still remaining in the regular-season slate. He has 27 starts to his name as a member of the Jets the past three seasons, after starting just seven games for…read more

  • Climbs to career-best 85 tackles

    Hewitt racked up 11 tackles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hewitt was one of three Jets defenders to record double-digit tackles as the Chargers dominated time of possession, joining Harvey Langi and Ashtyn Davis. The 27-year-old linebacker has already set a new career high with 85 tackles and still has six games left to build on that total, starting with a Week 12 tilt against Miami.

  • Eight tackles in latest loss

    Hewitt recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Hewitt's up to 67 tackles through eight games, as New York's defense continues to spend the majority of the game on the field, with the offense failing to hold up its end of the bargain. Fellow linebacker Avery Williamson, who had one more tackle than Hewitt in this one, was traded to Pittsburgh later Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports, so Hewitt could have even more tackle opportunities moving forward.

  • Keeps racking up tackles

    Hewitt finished with 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Hewitt tied fellow middle linebacker Avery Williamson for the team lead in tackles and set a new career high in the category. He has 59 tackles this season and is primed to make a sizable addition to that total in Week 8 against a Chiefs team that will likely dominate in time of possession.

  • Gets 10 tackles in loss

    Hewitt recorded 10 tackles (four solo), a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Hewitt continues to rack up the tackles on a Jets defense that struggles to get off the field. He's up to 39 tackles through five games, putting Hewitt more than halfway to the career-high 75 he totaled last season.

    Published: Mon, Oct 12 at 7:53am by Rotowire.com

  • Racks up nine tackles in Week 4

    Hewitt had one tackle for loss among his team-high nine tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 37-28 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Hewitt has been an active tackler for New York, racking up 29 tackles through four weeks and at least six in every game. The 27-year-old linebacker is a steady presence in a defense that's prone to major mistakes at many of its other positions.

  • Notches eight stops in loss

    Hewitt posted eight tackles and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-27 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Hewitt played every defensive snap in Sunday's divisional loss, and with the Jets' linebacker corps banged up, Hewitt stepped up. He recorded eight or more tackles in just four of 12 games last season, but with Avery Williamson (hamstring) and Blake Cashman (groin) potentially missing Week 2's game versus the 49ers, Hewitt could log another full workload and be a valuable IDP presence.

  • Back with Jets

    Hewitt re-signed with the Jets on Friday on a one-year, $2 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hewitt will rejoin New York's linebacker corps, where he stands to kick off the 2020 campaign as a backup option behind C.J. Mosley (groin) and Avery Williamson (knee). With injury concerns still lingering around both interior starters, however, the 27-year-old could possess some upside as a stash in IDP formats.

  • Raises stock ahead of FA

    Hewitt recorded four tackles and a pass defensed in Week 17 against the Bills. He finishes the season with 75 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.

    Analysis: Thrust into a larger role by season-ending injuries to C.J. Mosley and Avery Williamson, Hewitt showed some promise as a coverage linebacker and set new career highs in tackles, sacks and interceptions. The 26-year-old inside linebacker picked a great time to have a career season, as he's set to hit unrestricted free agency.

  • Picks up sack in win

    Hewitt recorded eight tackles (six solo) and one sack in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hewitt was on the field for 57 of a possible 67 snaps. His season sack total is now up to 3.0 with one more week to play. He will look to carry that momentum in to Sunday's season finale against the Bills.

  • Tallies five tackles

    Hewitt had five solo tackles during Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The Jets had minimal success slowing down QB Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's offense, which averaged 7.3 yards per play. Hewitt has been limited as an IDP option of late and is averaging 5.2 tackles despite missing only a handful of defensive snaps over the last five games.

    Published: Fri, Dec 13 at 9:02am by Rotowire.com

  • Makes seven tackles in win

    Hewitt recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: It was a second straight solid game for Hewitt. He has made 12 tackles (seven solo) to go with two pass breakups and an interception in two games since returning from a neck injury.

  • Picks off pass in win

    Hewitt made five tackles (three solo) and intercepted a pass in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Analysis: Hewitt returned after missing four games due to a neck injury and didn't miss a beat, intercepting his second pass attempt of the season. The 26-year-old played all 68 snaps on defense and should be good to go moving forward.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Hewitt (neck) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Hewitt will take the field for the first time since Week 6 when he suffered a stinger. The fifth-year linebacker is expected to slot in at starting inside linebacker, and he has solid IDP aptitude with 37 tackles (23 solo), two sacks and two pass breakups through five contests.

  • Labeled questionable

    Hewitt (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Redskins.

    Analysis: Hewitt has not played since Week 6, as he has been nursing a neck injury. His limited participation at practice all week seems to indicate he is trending in the right direction, but we will not know his status for sure until closer to game time.

  • Officially out vs. Giants

    Hewitt (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Hewitt was tagged as doubtful for this contest, so it's not surprising he's unable to go. Both of the Jets' inside linebackers will be sitting out since C.J. Mosley (groin) is in the midst of an extended absence. Paul Worrilow and James Burgess figure to start in their places Sunday.

  • Doubtful for Week 10

    Hewitt (neck/knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

    Analysis: Hewitt appears to be trending toward a fourth straight absence due to his lingering neck injury. The starting linebacker also dealt with a knee issue during practices this week. With C.J. Mosley (groin) ruled out and Jordan Jenkins (calf) listed as questionable, the Jets' banged up linebacker corps could prove to be an exploitable weakness Week 10.

  • Knee injury surfaces

    Hewitt (neck/knee) is not cleared for contact Monday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hewitt has missed the last three games due to a neck injury, and he now appears to be dealing with a knee issue. It remains to be seen whether the knee injury is a new development, or something that Hewitt has been nursing since he was injured in Week 6's win over the Cowboys. James Burgess and B.J. Bello will continue to see increased roles on defense as long as Hewitt is unable to retake the field.

  • Officially out

    Hewitt (neck) won't play in Sunday's clash against Miami.

    Analysis: Hewitt came into the game owning a doubtful tag, so his absence isn't quite surprising. The 26-year-old is one of five linebackers dealing with injury, as C.J. Mosely (groin) and Blake Cashman (shoulder) are among the scratches. In the wake of the injury bug, James Burgess, B.J. Bello and Frankie Luvu are the only healthy inside linebackers on the roster for the game.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Hewitt (neck) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game at Miami.

    Analysis: Hewitt wasn't expected to be available this weekend but kept alive a slim chance of suiting up after working as a limited practice participant Friday. C.J. Mosley (groin) is also out and Blake Cashman (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve, leaving the Jets with James Burgess, B.J. Bello and Frankie Luvu -- all of whom joined the 53-man roster within the last week -- to work at inside linebacker.
