After a four-year stint as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Woody Johnson is expected to resume his duties as the Jets’ CEO shortly after returning from London.

Johnson’s brother, Christopher, who has served as the team’s CEO since Johnson was named by former President Donald J. Trump as Ambassador, told reporters Thursday that Woody was flying home Thursday.

"When he is officially principal owner (again), we’re not exactly sure," Christopher Johnson said.
