Mystery ‘In-House Matter’ Keeps Johnson From Jets Practice

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Trumaine Johnson’s tough first season with the New York Jets hit another rough patch.

The team’s top cornerback was held out of practice Wednesday for what coach Todd Bowles called “an in-house matter.”

Both Bowles and Johnson declined to discuss details of their conversation or why the player was kept off the field. Johnson says he “of course” expects to return to practice Thursday and play at New England in the season finale Sunday.

“Me and the head man talked about it,” Johnson said. “That’s between us.”
