The New York Jets' athletic care and performance department, created three years ago to combat a high injury rate, has undergone a shakeup in the aftermath of another injury-plagued season. Three experts hired to lead the department are no longer with the organization, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Gone is Brad DeWeese, who was named in March 2021 the director of high performance. Also gone are his top lieutenants -- Robert Sausaman, the assistant director of high performance, and Matthew Sams, the director of sports science.
A Jets spokesman declined comment, saying the team doesn't discuss the status of employees.
