No need to worry about news breaking of Jets defensive end Jermaine Johnson starting the preseason on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list as training camp opens up.

According to Johnson’s own twitter account, “all is well” regarding his health but both he and the Jets want to “move slow” as he works his way back from a torn achilles.

I will be on PUP because the team wants to move slow to be safe, which I agree with. Not because I’m not ready. All is well.

Entering his fourth pro season, Johnson was trending in the right direction after picking up 7.5 sacks in his second pro season. He entered 2024 with high expectations before the week two injury put him on the shelf for the remainder of the year.

Now ready to return and pair with Will McDonald to form what Jets fans hope will be a fearsome pass rush, Johnson is ready to get rolling, but will take it slow early on.
