Chuck Clark’s Jets injury return comes with same old chip on his shoulder
NY Post
On the last play of the last Jets organized team activity last spring, Chuck Clark felt some pain in his knee.
He ran off the field and figured it was just typical soreness. He spent the weekend thinking the pain would soon go away. It didn’t. He had torn his ACL, and his 2023 season was over before it even started.
“I couldn’t believe it when it did happen,” Clark said Tuesday. “I wasn’t accepting it, you know? So, I was like, ‘I’m moving around. It’s just not true.’ ”
The Jets acquired Clark in March 2023 in a trade with the Ravens.
They sent a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft to acquire the safety, who admits he came to the team with a chip on his shoulder.
Jets coaches loved what they saw of Clark last spring and were heartbroken when he went down with the injury. One source recently pointed to Clark’s injury as the first thing that went wrong for the team last year.
