The Jets signed McGovern (kneecap) to the practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
McGovern suffered a dislocated kneecap in Week 7 last season, and he finished the campaign on injured reserve. He was brought in for a tryout with the Jets on Wednesday and he did well enough to catch on with the practice squad, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The 2016 fifth-round pick has started in 55 regular-season games at center for the Jets since 2020.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
McGovern re-signed with the Jets after making 48 starts for New York over the previous three seasons. The 30-year-old McGovern will compete with rookie second-round pick Joe Tippmann for the starting center role in 2023.
McGovern is penciled in as the Jets' starting center. He played well in that role in 2021 before hurting his MCL in Week 16 against the Jaguars. McGovern has since recovered from that knee injury.
McGovern underwhelmed in the first year of a three-year, $27 million contract last season, but he wasn't the only man to blame for New York's struggles on the interior offensive line. The veteran center was also limited by hamstring and knee injuries in 2020. With a clean bill of health and stronger guards flanking him, McGovern's poised for a bounce-back campaign as the Jets' starting center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Plan B for Jets
CFree Agent
April 2, 2023
Bringing back McGovern on a one-year deal could be a contingency plan for the Jets if they don't acquire former Titans center Ben Jones, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
McGovern started 48 games at center for the Jets over the previous three seasons. The soon-to-be 30-year-old free agent was hoping to land a long-term contract this offseason, but McGovern may have to settle for a one-year deal at this point. Jones was released by Tennessee after failing a physical, so it isn't a given that he'll be able to sign with the Jets as the team hopes.
