Johnson is questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville with an ankle injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant, leaving his availability for Week 8 up in the air.

Johnson may be benched for Week 3's game versus the Patriots, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson struggled in coverage in the season opener versus Buffalo, and he was quickly taken out of the rotation against the Browns in Week 2 after playing just four defensive snaps. Coach Adam Gase has expressed that the cornerbacks weren't the issue in the second game, but last week's minimal snap count for Johnson could signal he sees a similar demotion Sunday.

Johnson (hamstring) tied for the team lead for eight tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

While Johnson's tackles filled up the stat sheet, he was forced to make so many because he clearly didn't trust his speed and gave receivers plenty of cushion to make catches. Given New York's lack of cornerback depth behind Johnson, it could be an ugly year for the Jets' secondary if the well-paid defensive back can't find his game.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has yet to resume 11-on-11 drills with the regular-season opener less than two weeks away, but it's still positive news that he's increased the level of his practice participation.
