Jets get best-case injury news on Jermaine Johnson ahead of Week 6

The New York Jets have a legitimate claim to the worst defense in the NFL through five weeks this season. The team's defense has struggled in essentially every facet, but the most jarring liability has been the complete lack of any semblance of a pass rush.

Part of the issue has been the absence of the Jets' best defensive end, Jermaine Johnson, who has missed the last three weeks due to an ankle injury. Fortunately, the team received some good news regarding his status this week.

SNY's Connor Hughes reported on Monday that Johnson "is expected to return" for the team's Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos in London this Sunday.
