The New York Jets have placed edge Jermaine Johnson on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. He will be able to attend meetings and use the team facilities, but is not allowed to practice while on the PUP List and he can be activated at any point once he is ready.
Johnson is recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered on Sept. 15 in their game against the Tennessee Titans. He took to social media to share that his recovery is going well and they “want to move slow.”
“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,” he wrote.
He is entering his fourth year with the Jets after they took him with the 26th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He made the 2023 Pro Bowl after making 55 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, defending seven passes, and returning one interception for a touchdown. He has played in 33 games and made 19 starts, recording 88 tackles, 10.0 sacks, 15.0 tackles for loss, and 21 quarterback hits.
He also shared a video of himself working out on the field, where he was able to run and execute some drills.
