Free agent running back Ty Johnson took to Instagram this weekend and opened up about how the Jets released him after telling him to get a surgery he says he didn’t want.
Johnson tore his pectoral muscle while doing a workout away from the team during the offseason and was cut shortly thereafter. In the Instagram video, he said he’s had some “dark, dark days” and broke down how his release happened.
“Saw the team doctor, he said, ‘You need to get it fixed,’” Johnson recalled. “Flew out the next day. Come back, happy, that I got it done, even though I didn’t want to get it done. That following Wednesday, you out of there. And I was like ‘damn.’”
