NY Jets’ Jermaine Johnson ruled out vs. Dolphins with ankle injury

Speaking to reporters ahead of Saturday’s practice, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn officially ruled defensive end Jermaine Johnson out of Monday night’s Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle injury.

Johnson also missed last week’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he suffered the injury during Week 2’s 30-10 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

This season, the Florida State product who suffered a torn Achilles in Week 2 of last year has played 82 snaps, while generating six pressures, five hurries, four tackles, and a quarterback hit, equating to a solid 70.9 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus.

The loss of Johnson is a significant blow for the Jets, who lack proven depth at edge rusher.

New York could turn to fifth-round rookie Tyler Baron, who impressed in Johnson’s absence last week. Baron logged a quarterback pressure, two tackles, and a run stop across 25 defensive snaps, offering a glimpse of potential as the team searches for answers on the edge.
