News - Jermaine Johnson Drops Major Locker Room Update After Aaron Glenn Announces Jets LB’s Return

Jermaine Johnson, the edge rusher, addressed the New York Jets' defensive struggles this week. Johnson, out since Week 2 with a torn Achilles, is expected to be active for the upcoming game, providing a much-needed boost to a defense that has yet to win. He confirmed a players-only meeting aimed at resetting their standards ahead of his return. While speaking to the media, Johnson said, "We’re taking full accountability—100 percent. We had a players-only meeting, and everyone’s on the same page now. We have to be better. We can’t be the reason we lose; that can’t happen, and we have too much talent. Coach A.G. has had our back in terms of how he’s run this thing, instilling a certain culture here, and we’ve got to have his back by putting out a good product." Johnson’s return comes as head coach Aaron Glenn has stressed the importance of execution and accountability. The Jets have recorded only seven sacks through five games and have not forced a takeaway in the first five games.
