FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson, the high-priced free agent whose disappointing season hit bottom last week with a costly penalty in an overtime loss, was benched for practice Wednesday due to an apparent disciplinary matter.
Coach Todd Bowles refused to give details, calling it "an in-house matter that we're dealing with." He declined to say whether it was related to discipline, although he made it clear it wasn't an excused absence. Johnson was likely also fined.
