Jets Rule Out Jermaine Johnson and Three Others for Week 3 vs. Buccaneers

Aaron Glenn said Johnson’s injury is an ankle sprain rather than an Achilles re-injury.

Overview

  • Wide receiver Josh Reynolds, returner Kene Nwangwu and defensive tackle Jay Tufele were also ruled out for Sunday.
  • Tufele has missed two weeks with an undisclosed illness, and Glenn declined to provide details while expressing confidence he will return soon.
  • Quarterback Justin Fields is sidelined with a concussion, and veteran Tyrod Taylor is expected to start against Tampa Bay.
  • Johnson’s absence spotlights thin depth at defensive end, with Micheal Clemons likely to see increased snaps opposite Will McDonald.
  • The 0-2 Jets visit Tampa Bay seeking their first win of the season with multiple starters unavailable.
