Starters: Jordan Jenkins, Avery Williamson, Blake Cashman, Tarell Basham

Backups: Jabari Zuniga, Patrick Onwuasor, Neville Hewitt, Harvey Langi, Frankie Luvu

Onwuasor is going to miss the beginning of the regular season with an injury, which opened the door for Hewitt and Langi to secure their roster spots. Like the defensive line, inside linebacker is a position the Jets will fill on a rotational basis, so there is plenty of playing time available in the middle of New York’s defense.
