Here are the latest news and possible return dates for injured Jets players…
Sept. 15, 3:22 p.m.
Linebacker Jermaine Johnson was carted off in the third quarter of the Jets’ Week 2 game at the Tennessee Titans due to an Achilles injury and ruled out.
Johnson’s injury appeared to be a non-contact one. After rushing the passer on a third-and-1 play at the Titans’ 38-yard line, where Will Levis moved up in the collapsing pocket and scrambled for a first down via a 21-yard gain to the Jets’ 41 at the 4:41 mark, Johnson went to play his left leg and fell down. He reached down for his lower left leg before he fell down at the Titans’ 28-yard line.
Johnson, 25, is a third-year pro after the Jets selected him from Florida State with the 2022 NFL Draft’s No. 26 overall pick. In last Monday’s 32-19 loss at the San Francisco 49ers, Johnson totaled two tackles.
Sept. 15, 2:40 p.m.
Linebacker C.J. Mosley has been downgraded to doubtful to return for the Jets at the Titans due to a toe injury. At 1:43 p.m., the Jets initially announced that Mosley was questionable with a foot injury.
Mosley was injured on a first-and-10 from the Titans’ 16-yard line, where Tony Pollard took a 15-yard carry to the 31 for a first down at the second quarter’s 14:51 mark. A horse collar by Jets safety Chuck Clark pushed the ball to the Titans’ 46-yard line.
Mosley, 32, is in his fifth season with the Jets. He totaled nine tackles in Week 1.
