Sources: Jets Shake Up Performance Department 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu May 9, 2024 12:51 pm

The New York Jets\' athletic care and performance department has undergone a shake-up in the aftermath of another injury-plagued season.

Three experts hired to lead the department are no longer with the organization, according to sources.

The department was created three years ago to combat a high injury rate.

Brad DeWeese, who was named the director of high performance in March 2021, has been let go. Also gone are his top assistants -- Robert Sausaman, the assistant director of high performance, and Matt Sams, the director of sports science.

A Jets spokesman declined comment, saying the team doesn\'t discuss the status of employees.

The departures weren\'t performance-related, a source said. Sams left on his own accord, another source said.
