New York Jets place former FSU star on PUP list
The New York Jets have placed edge Jermaine Johnson on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. He will be able to attend meetings and use the team facilities, but is not allowed to practice while on the PUP List and he can be activated at any point once he is ready.
Johnson is recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered on Sept. 15 in their game against the Tennessee Titans. He took to social media to share that his recovery is going well and they "want to move slow."
"I will be on PUP because the team wants to move slow to be safe, which I agree with. Not because I'm not ready. All is well," he wrote.
He is entering his fourth year with the Jets after they took him with the 26th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He made the 2023 Pro Bowl after making 55 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, defending seven passes, and returning one interception for a touchdown. He has played in 33 games and made 19 starts, recording 88 tackles, 10.0 sacks, 15.0 tackles for loss, and 21 quarterback hits.
He also shared a video of himself working out on the field, where he was able to run and execute some drills.

Lamar Jackson's greatness is further confirmed in two revealing metrics
The Baltimore Ravens enter training camp with new additions like Jaire Alexander. They have returning stars like Derrick Henry. 11 of their players made the Pro Bowl last season. Every single one of them returns for another run at glory in 2025. The defense improved steadily under Zach Orr during his first run as defensive coordinator. He's back, and he has some talent to work with, everyone from veteran Roquan Smith on down to rookie Malaki Starks. On a roster this loaded, it can become easy to lock in on one or two guys and forget the other stars. That isn't true of Lamar Jackson, however. The two-time MVP is always a topic of discussion, and recently, he took center stage in a recent write-up by Pro Football Focus. PFF gives Lamar Jackson top billing with a recent take on QB dominance The eyeball test never fails, but there are also times when statistics and data add a little cherry on top. PFF is one of the kings in the latter category. Some are fans. Others aren't. All can find ways to create conversations about what they said. One of their recent studies focuses on the NFL's best quarterbacks against every type of coverage. Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow is the game's best vs. Cover 1 and Cover 2. Lamar Jackson steals the show, dominating in three of the essential categories. Baltimore's signal-caller earns top mentions and a passing grade of 91.0 vs. Cover 3. He also leads all NFL passers with grades of 92.5 and 90.0 vs. Cover 6 and in Red Zone situations. He's always dangerous when creating as a scrambler, but PFF proves he's just as deadly with his arm. "Jackson was unstoppable to defend on any blade of grass, and that extended to inside the opponent's 20-yard line. The Baltimore dynamo earned the highest PFF passing grade against red-zone looks by almost a full five points ahead of Justin Herbert (85.1) in second place. It's not shocking to learn that Jackson wasn't tagged with a turnover-worthy play against red-zone looks, either." Still not convinced? Here's more if you still have any doubts. "Just 25 quarterbacks confronted 15 or more 'red-zone' coverage looks last season, which was used as the baseline minimum. This coverage type is more amorphous because of safeties and cornerbacks being unable to establish as much depth with their backs closer to the goal line, but it still reveals useful information." Two other signal-callers are mentioned. Jayden Daniels, now entering his second year, received the highest grade vs. Cover 0 (91.0). Matthew Stafford, who suddenly feels like a potential future Pro Football Hall of Famer, earned the top grade vs. Cover 4 with a mark of 83.6. All of that has been said to say this. In a world where Lamar Jackson haters still exist, it's nice to see many respected platforms provide some balance. Year eight begins for the two-time MVP. The goal is simple. Get to Santa Clara, and win this whole thing. It's time to give Baltimore that third Lombardi Trophy.

Trey Hendrickson calls Bengals' contract offer 'atrociously low'
The Cincinnati Bengals require veterans to report Tuesday for the start of training camp. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson – the team's star defensive player – will not be there. Hendrickson and the Bengals have been stuck in a contract extension negotiation standoff all offseason. On Tuesday's episode of "Good Morning Football," Manti Te'o shared details of a recent conversation he had with Hendrickson, in which the disgruntled reigning NFL sack leader said Cincinnati's latest offer and money guarantees were "atrociously, atrociously low." Manti's take 👀@Sara_Walsh Te'o's report came during a segment on the NFL Network program during which the show's analysts had to rate their confidence that a deal would get done on a scale from 1 to 91 (Hendrickson's jersey number). However, Te'o said based on his recent conversation with Hendrickson that "it's a 0 from me." "Trey even told me, him and his representatives would even take less years to reduce the length of the contract. And the Bengals organization said 'no,'" Te'o said. Te'o and Hendrickson were teammates on the Saints between 2017 and 2019. CINCINNATI BENGALS: The AFC North contenders could have a historic offense. But what about the defense? Barring a breakthrough in negotiations, Hendrickson is set to enter the 2025 season on the last year of the contract extension he signed ahead of the 2023 season. He'd make $16 million this year on the current deal, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The defensive end also posted a picture to his Instagram story of a highway with a Florida geotag, seemingly showing that Hendrickson is not even in the state of Ohio for the start of Bengals training camp. Long-term extension talks between the #Bengals and star Trey Hendrickson broke down over guaranteed money before camp… and Hendrickson has now indicated he left the just posted this on Instagram. BENGALS CONTRACT UPDATES: Bengals exec, owner give latest on Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart deals Since Hendrickson signed with the Bengals in 2021, he has been their best defensive player. After starting his career with only 20 sacks in his first four seasons with the Saints, Hendrickson has excelled with the Bengals, totaling 57 sacks in the last four years. He has made the Pro Bowl each season with Cincinnati. In 2024, he topped the league with 17.5 sacks, earned his first, first-team All-Pro honor and was the runner-up to Patrick Surtain II in Defensive Player of the Year voting. The 2024 season marked the second consecutive year that Hendrickson recorded 17.5 sacks. Hendrickson is not the only disgruntled edge rusher the Bengals have not been able to satisfy in contract talks. Their 2025 first-round pick, Shemar Stewart, remains unsigned and continues to hold out. If Stewart doesn't sign by Week 10, he would become ineligible to play this season and could re-enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
