There is a famous saying that “winning the battle but losing the war.” Well, this line perfectly suits the New York Jets as the team won against the Titans, but at what cost? With a 24-17 score, the Jets secured their first win of the season but maybe lost a player for the long run!
It wasn’t surely a good day for the Jets’ Jermaine Johnson, as he was forced to leave the Week 2 game after suffering a possible Achilles injury. And now there are concerns the injury might put an end to the defensive end’s 2024 season.
And while everyone was expecting it to be bad news, Head Coach Robert Saleh also feels the same. When Saleh was asked if Jermaine Johnson tore his Achilles on Sunday, the HC couldn’t resist revealing the truth. He said, “It’s unfortunately looking like that. We will confirm it tomorrow.”
He mentioned that it appears the defensive end may have torn his Achilles, but further medical evaluations are needed to confirm the severity. With that said, it seems like the injury might affect Johnson’s career. While Jermaine was in hot pursuit of Titans quarterback Will Levis, who was scrambling up the middle for a 21-yard run.
But with just over four minutes left in the third quarter, things took a wrong turn. Johnson suddenly went down without any contact, and it was clear something was wrong. Within moments, the cart was on the field as his concerned teammates huddled around him, hoping for the best. Moreover, not only the Jets squad but even Johnson is hopeful about the injury!
Jermaine Johnson thanks God after injury question
When sports writer, Dov Kleiman asked Jermaine Johnson about his injury, the player gave quite a positive response. The DE mentioned how he is hoping for the best and waiting for the confirmation of injury. While the player admitted that the injury was no fun, he told how his family and girlfriend gave him some hope.
The player’s mom and girlfriend said, “Go look in a mirror, you know, go look at your chest. I gotta have faith tattoo.” Apart from having a faith tattoo, Johnson prays to God before every game.
“I tell him to use me so I can serve others. This just might be his way of me doing that,” he added. The player also stated how he will do everything he is supposed to do by staying in an helping his Jets’ gang.
Well, while Jermaine Johnson’s career hanging, it is yet to be seen what the reports say. Whatever the results are, we hope for the speedy recovery of the defensive end.
