Jets may have lost Jermaine Johnson II (Achilles) for season

Jermaine Johnson

New York Jets standout edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II likely tore his right Achilles tendon during Sunday’s 24-17 road win over the Tennessee Titans.

“It’s unfortunately looking like that,” Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters. “We’ll confirm it tomorrow, but it doesn’t look good.”

Johnson will undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity.

Johnson was injured during the third quarter on a non-contact play while rushing Tennessee quarterback Will Levis. He immediately grabbed his right leg and was eventually carted off the field.

Johnson said he cried in the locker room and called his mom and other family members after being told he had a serious injury.

“I’m hoping for the best. We still have to clarify and make sure,” Johnson told reporters. “It wasn’t fun.”

Johnson, 25, is in his third season after being a first-round choice (No. 26 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He recorded 7.5 sacks and made 55 tackles last season while making his first Pro Bowl.

Johnson had two tackles — one for loss — before being hurt.

Jets inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (right big toe) was carted off in the second quarter. He had three tackles before departing.

Saleh said he was hopeful Mosley will be available for Thursday night’s home game against the New England Patriots.
