Johnson recorded 43 tackles (22 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two passes defensed across 14 appearances in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson wasn't quite the same player in his return from a Sept. 2024 right Achilles' tendon tear. The 2022 first-round draft pick had 7.5 sacks and seven passes defensed in his Pro Bowl 2023 season prior to the injury. Perhaps being another year removed from the injury will help Johnson bounce back in 2026, when he will play on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, which the Jets exercised this past April. Johnson remains locked in as a starting edge rusher for the Jets.

Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson opened the week as a DNP due to an ankle injury, but he was able to shed an injury tag for Week 14 after logging a full practice Friday. The fourth-year defensive end has accumulated 15 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in four games since the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's limited session is an upgrade from Wednesday, when he was unable to practice. The bump up in participation suggests Johnson is trending towards playing in Sunday's divisional contest against the Dolphins. The starting defensive end will have one more practice to improve his participation and potentially dodge injury designation for Sunday.

Johnson (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has registered 27 tackles (15 solo) and 3.0 sacks through the past seven games, so his potential absence would be a significant hit to the Jets' defense. If he can't go Sunday versus the Dolphins, Michael Clemons and, to a lesser extent, Braiden McGregor could see increases in their respective snap counts.

Johnson recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 first-round pick from Florida State was the only Jet to get after the quarterback in the Week 11 loss, sacking Drake Maye in the fourth quarter. Johnson has now logged a full sack in back-to-back games and three of his last five. He's tallied 25 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended over just seven appearances this season. Expect Johnson to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Johnson recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was on the field for a season-high 61 defensive snaps in Week 10, most notably getting to Dillon Gabriel for a sack in the fourth quarter. The defensive lineman has now registered 23 total tackles (13 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed over six games this year.

Johnson (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is good to go after logging a full practice Friday. His return to the field should provide a substantial boost to a Jets pass rush that has struggled since Johnson got hurt in Week 2.

Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson raised his participation level Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice, which is an encouraging sign coupled with Wednesday's report from Cimini that head coach Aaron Glenn is optimistic about Johnson returning to action Sunday against the Broncos in London. Johnson hasn't suited up since Week 2 against the Bills, and the Jets' lack of edge depth behind him has been exposed during his absence.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Johnson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday but the team is optimistic about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Broncos in London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is officially listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report, per Cimini, but Glenn said Thursday's activity level is what will be key for determining the standout defensive end's status. The 2022 first-round pick hasn't played since Week 2 against the Bills, when he was forced out due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Johnson (ankle) will travel with the Jets to London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has missed three consecutive games after sustaining an ankle injury in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Bills. However, traveling with the team for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos is an encouraging sign for his potential return. The 2022 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy over the past two seasons, appearing in just four contests and recording 11 total tackles and one pass defended. His participation in practice throughout the week will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can return for the Week 6 affair in London.
