Jets' Jermaine Johnson Confirms Season-Ending Achilles Tear

The Pro Bowl edge rusher's injury is a major blow to New York's defense, with further tests confirming the severity of the damage.

Jermaine Johnson, the New York Jets' standout edge rusher, confirmed via social media that he tore his right Achilles tendon during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Johnson, who was carted off the field in the third quarter, expressed optimism about his recovery despite the severity of the injury.
The Jets' defense, already dealing with multiple injuries, will feel Johnson's absence keenly, especially with Haason Reddick still holding out for a new contract.
Johnson's injury occurred on a non-contact play while rushing Titans quarterback Will Levis, leading to an emotional response from teammates and coaches.
Head coach Robert Saleh acknowledged the setback but emphasized confidence in the remaining players to step up in Johnson's absence.
