Jets' Jermaine Johnson Cleared to Play in London vs. Broncos

New York seeks a defensive spark from the edge rusher after five weeks without a takeaway.

Overview

  • Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Johnson is "ready to go" for Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after missing three games with an ankle injury.
  • The Jets are 0-5 with no takeaways through Week 5 and only three sacks in the last four games, and Quinnen Williams labeled the defense "probably the worst in the league."
  • Johnson was injured in the second quarter of the Week 2 loss to Buffalo and had not played since.
  • Wide receiver Allen Lazard did not travel for personal reasons and will not play, according to Glenn.
  • Slot corner Michael Carter II remains in the concussion protocol with a good chance to be out, and ESPN’s Rich Cimini indicated the team will likely elevate a practice-squad wideout to bolster depth.
