One of the biggest storylines for the New York Jets so far has been their defense. Injuries have been piling up for the Jets defense since the start of camp. The two most noticeable injuries have been cornerback Trumaine Johnson pulling his hamstring, and linebacker Avery Williamson tearing his ACL against the Falcons in the second preseason game.
Johnson will be able to play this season once he gets healthy, but losing a player like Williamson who is a leader in the locker room for the whole year is a tough blow for the Jets. In addition to these injuries, there are some glaring weaknesses in the secondary and in generating a pass rush from the outside.
