2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson tore his Achilles in Week 2 of the 2024 season, preventing him from building on a Pro Bowl 2023 campaign in which he posted 7.5 sacks and seven passes defensed. The 2022 first-round pick was the Jets' best all-around edge prior to getting hurt, and Johnson should return to a starting role once healthy, though his availability for the start of the regular season is uncertain.

Signed a four-year, $13.09 million contract with the Jets in May of 2022.
Traveling to London
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Johnson (ankle) will travel with the Jets to London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
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.

2022
Not much went right for the Jets in 2023, but the emergence of Johnson was one. After a quiet rookie season for the 2022 first-round pick, he more than doubled his defensive snap count and his production followed suit. Brought in to get after the quarterback, Johnson accomplished that goal by creating 56 total pressures (per PFF), good for a mark inside the top-25 in the league among edge rushers. Johnson also did enough as a run-stopper, tallying 20 tackles in the role. With Bryce Huff and John Franklin-Myers out of the picture, Johnson should have the chance to step into a leadership role along the defensive line and his production could take another jump forward in his third season as a pro.
