Overview

  • On July 19 the Jets placed Pro Bowl edge rusher Jermaine Johnson on the Physically Unable to Perform list, sidelining him for initial camp practices.
  • Johnson wrote on X that his PUP designation reflects the team’s decision to move slowly for safety rather than his lack of readiness.
  • He missed the entire 2024 season after a Week 2 torn Achilles and skipped spring workouts before expressing confidence at June minicamp.
  • With only Johnson and Will McDonald IV as proven edge rushers, New York enters camp with minimal depth at the position.
  • Glenn’s approach emphasizes long-term player health and will influence when Johnson might be activated for a potential Week 1 return.
