The New York Jets celebrated their first victory of the 2024 season against the Tennessee Titans but were overshadowed by the potential season-ending Achilles injury sustained by defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson. The injury occurred during the third quarter, prompting emotional reactions from teammates, including running back Breece Hall, who expressed deep concern for Johnson. Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed fears that Johnson's injury could be serious, echoing the sentiment from last season when quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a similar injury. Johnson himself remained positive, stating he would allow himself a brief mourning period before returning to support his teammates. As the Jets prepare for an upcoming game against the Patriots, the team faces new challenges in their defensive lineup without Johnson. Johnson's injury is particularly disheartening as he was expected to have a breakout season after a promising sophomore year.
