Lawson was having a great camp after signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the team in the off-season.
The Jets were looking forward to seeing the 26-year-old wreak havoc on opposing offenses this season, but that is now on hold.
Lawson wasn't the only Jet to have his season come to an end.
Safety Zane Lewis tore his patella tendon and suffered a sprained MCL Thursday. He is also out for the season.
