As training camp started this week, the Jets were without a key defensive player. Jermaine Johnson started on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
The 26-year-old suffered a torn Achilles in Week 2 of the 2024 season. He underwent surgery after the injury occurred and used the time after to recover. Ten to 11 months later, Johnson received the news he wanted from doctors. The one-time Pro Bowler announced that he’s been fully cleared to return from an Achilles injury. Massive news for the New York Jets ahead of the 2025 season.
