Jets Activate Jermaine Johnson for London Game vs. Broncos as 0-5 Defense Seeks Lift

New York points to accountability to address a unit that ranks 31st in points allowed through five games.

Overview

  • Johnson will play Sunday in London after missing three games with an ankle injury, a year removed from a torn Achilles in Week 2 of last season.
  • Players held a players-only meeting that Johnson said emphasized full accountability and backing head coach Aaron Glenn’s culture.
  • The Jets have seven sacks through five games, including just one in last week’s loss to Dallas, and scrutiny has mounted on coordinator Steve Wilks.
  • Running back and returner Kene Nwangwu will also play after a four-game hamstring absence, offering stability to special teams.
  • Cornerback Brandon Stephens was added to the injury report with a neck issue and is listed as questionable for Sunday.
