Jermaine Johnson Struck, Jets, Titans Tied 17-17

The Jets were without Haason Reddick for the first two games of the season and will be without another edge rusher on Sunday in Tennessee.

Jermaine Johnson was stretchered off the field after suffering a non-contact injury while trying to chase down Titans quarterback Will Levis on third down. An Achilles injury is a concern for Johnson and there will likely be calls to make a deal with Reddick if that is confirmed.

Levis ran for 21 yards on that play, then went deep down the sideline for Calvin Ridley two plays after Johnson left the field. Ridley was covered well by Sauce Gardner, and safety Chuck Clark came over to try for an interception, but the ball slid through the two Jets and into Ridley’s hands for a 40-yard touchdown. It appeared Gardner made contact with Ridley before he scored, but officials on the play allowed the play to stand.

The score is now 17-17 with only three minutes left in the third quarter.
