Jets' Muhammad Wilkerson (leg) cleared to return to practice

New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (leg) has been activated from the active/PUP list.

What It Means:

Wilkerson has remained adamant through the off-season that he will be ready to go for Week 1, and he appears to be on track to meet that timeline.

Wilkerson played a big part in helping anchor a Jets defense that finished sixth in schedule-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play in 2015, and his return will be big for their 2016 outlook.
