Curry spent the entire 2021 season on the reserve/NFI list after doctors discovered blood clots following a procedure to remove his spleen. He was then waived by the Jets after their season ended. The re-signing should mean that Curry has been fully cleared to play. He appeared in 11 games for the Eagles in 2020 and logged three sacks. He will return to a rotational role in 2022.

Signed to a one-year deal in March, Curry spent the entire 2021 season on the reserve/NFI list after doctors discovered blood clots. It is unclear if his medical situation will allow him to play moving forward. Set to turn 34 in June, the long-time Eagle could likely contribute as a rotational pass rusher in 2022 if his health allows him. 

The Jets placed the 33-year-old on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, but it's now been revealed why and the severity of the issue. The New York doctors caught the blood disorder, and it required the removal of Curry's spleen. He's now on blood thinners and can't play in a contact sport for the next 3-6 months, meaning he's done for the year. Curry is the second free-agent edge rusher the Jets have lost after stud DE Carl Lawson tore his Achilles' last week. The Jets badly need to acquire some help at the position.

This means the 33-year-old free agent addition pass rusher will miss at least the first six games of the season. With the Jets on bye in Week 6, Week 8 against the Bengals is the earliest Curry could be activated. It is the latest injury blow for the Jets' edge rush. They are probably going to have to dip into the waiver wire/free agent pool.
