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.

USC football countdown to kickoff—Sam Cunningham in focus
The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 39 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we look at USC Hall of Fame running back Sam Cunningham. Position: Running back Years played at USC: 1969-1972 Career highlights: Cunningham starred at fullback for John McKay's USC teams of the early 1970s. As a senior in 1972, he earned first-team All-American honors. In the Rose Bowl against Ohio State, Cunningham scored four touchdowns, clinching an undefeated season and a national championship for the Trojans. Perhaps Cunningham's biggest, impact, though, came in the 1970 game between USC and Alabama. At the time, the Crimson Tide still did not have any African American players on their team. Getting dominated by 42-21 Cunningham and the integrated Trojans, however, prompted legendary Alabama head coach Bear Bryant to change that the following year, forever altering the course of college football. In 2010, Cunningham was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame and the USC Athletics Hall of Fame. After USC: The New England Patriots selected Cunningham with the 11th overall pick in the 1973 NFL Draft. He would go on to play for the team from 1973-1972, earning Pro Bowl honors in 1978. In 2010, he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Cunningham passed away in 2021 at the age of 71.
