New York Jets rookie defensive end David Bailey, who leads the team in sacks this season, has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a groin injury.

The announcement came on November 1, 2026, ahead of the matchup at Allegiant Stadium. Bailey has emerged as a key pass-rusher for the Jets in his first NFL season, recording a team-high sack total through the first eight weeks.

His absence leaves a significant gap in New York's defensive front as they prepare to face a Raiders offense that has shown improvement in recent weeks. The Jets will likely rely on veteran rotational players to fill the void.
