The New York Jets are hoping for a clean bill of health across the board this summer, but few recoveries are more important than that of Jermaine Johnson.
The fourth-year edge rusher is working his way back from the torn Achilles he suffered in Week 2 of last season, and while all signs point to him being ready for the start of the year, the Jets know they can’t afford any setbacks.
The Jets are counting on Johnson to return healthy and productive in 2025, especially given the razor-thin state of their defensive line. That's why the team made the cautious decision to place him on the Active/PUP list to start training camp this past weekend.
