Former New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has claimed that the team released him just one day after he had undergone surgery...which they had recommended.
The 25-year-old running back had been with the Jets for the last three seasons following a year with the Detroit Lions, after signing a one-year extension to remain with the team in 2023.
But after just a few weeks into that extension, the Jets announced that they'd be waiving Johnson with a 'non-football injury' designation. No further explanation was given on why the talented back was released from the team, with the player now giving his version of events.
