Jets outside linebacker Jamaal Westerman had surgery to repair a torn groin recently, a source confirmed.
Westerman played in 16 games for the Jets this season, starting three. He finished the year with 3 ½ sacks and one forced fumble. Westerman was one of several linebackers the Jets used to replace Bryan Thomas, who was lost for the season in Week 4 with a torn Achilles tendon.
Westerman will be a restricted free agent.
