Jets' Jermaine Johnson embracing high expectations for injury return — with Aaron Rodgers bonus
Jermaine Johnson was texting former teammate Aaron Rodgers on Monday night. Johnson would not say if the two discussed Week 1, when Rodgers will lead the Steelers into MetLife Stadium to face the Jets. Advertisement But he acknowledged that he can't wait to face him. For Johnson, it will mean more than just getting a chance to sack Rodgers. It will be his first game back after tearing his right Achilles tendon in Week 2 last season. 'Obviously, I'm excited. He's excited. It was a pleasure having Aaron around. I wish him the best,' Johnson said. 'When I get between those lines, there's no friends. I think he knows that and he feels the same. I'm excited. It's just another game, but for me it's going to be my first game back. There's going to be a lot of emotions. When my emotions run high, I tend to play pretty well.' Advertisement Johnson's locker was near Rodgers' in the Jets locker room in Florham Park. Rodgers often held court at his locker and Johnson was one of the players who often was hanging with him. When Johnson tore his Achilles last September, it was Rodgers who gave him advice after dealing with the same injury the year before. 4 Jets linebacker Jermaine Johnson talks to the media at minicamp in Florham Park. Bill Kostroun/New York Post That was the beginning of the long road back for Johnson. On Tuesday, Johnson was on a side field with trainers, pulling a weighted sled behind him as his teammates opened up their three-day minicamp. Advertisement The Jets expect Johnson to return at some point in training camp and definitely in time for the regular season. Johnson said he's learned about himself during this process. 'I learned that I'm a pretty good handyman,' Johnson joked. 'I don't got to pay somebody from Task Rabbit to do things around the house anymore.' Then, Johnson really answered the question. 'I've always been pretty good at patience,' Johnson said. 'You all know it, it wasn't the easiest or shortest ride getting here. It was just another thing. I've never been seriously injured. Oddly enough, it added some confidence to me. I would always see guys get season-ending injuries and be like, 'Dang, I don't know if I've got what it takes to do that.' Now, going through it, it's like obviously I do. I just feel so confident right now.' Advertisement 4 Jets linebacker Jermaine Johnson sacks Giants quarterback Tommy DiVito in the fourth quarter during a 2023 game. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The Jets are counting on Johnson to return to his pre-injury form. He had 7.5 sacks and made the Pro Bowl in 2023. He was expected to be a big piece of the 2024 defense, then the injury happened. New Jets coach Aaron Glenn is familiar with Johnson, having coached him in the 2022 Senior Bowl. 'There's things that stand out going back to college and even at the Senior Bowl when I had a chance to coach him then,' Glenn said. 'He's a hard-nosed, physical, violent player that's very athletic, that has the ability to win off the edge and make plays on the quarterback. Listen, you don't get a lot of guys that has the athleticism that he does but still be strong and powerful to hold up against the run. I'm excited to see that player get out there in training camp and going into the first game. He's going to be a huge part of what we're doing.' 4 Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers participates during mandatory minicamp at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on June 10, 2025.

Bill Kostroun/New York Post The new Jets regime showed its belief in Johnson when it picked up his fifth-year option this spring. That guarantees him $13.4 million in 2026 if the Jets and Johnson don't agree to a long-term deal before then. 'It's a big investment,' Johnson said. 'They've seen enough of me and heard enough about me that they're willing to dive into that for at least one more year. It means a lot to me. I'm always a man of my word and a man of honor. To me, that's them lifting their end of the cup and now it's my turn to lift my end of the cup.'

Steelers' Super Bowl odds haven't moved after Aaron Rodgers signing
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Oddsmakers apparently priced in Aaron Rodgers long-rumored Steelers signing. After months of flirtation between the two sides, Pittsburgh's Super Bowl odds stayed the same despite bringing in the future Hall of Fame quarterback over the weekend. Before officially signing Rodgers, the Steelers were +4500 to win the Lombardi Trophy at BetMGM Sportsbook, the 17th-best odds in the league. That number didn't budge after finally landing their starting signal-caller, suggesting Vegas bookies assumed all along the ex-Jets QB was heading to Pittsburgh. The Steelers are once again being priced as a middle-of-the-pack team heading into the season. BetMGM has their win total at 8.5 with the juice on the under, implying that Pittsburgh could be headed for their first losing season in the Mike Tomlin era. They are +145 to make the playoffs and a +600 long shot to win the AFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers participates during mandatory minicamp at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on June 10, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Getty Images The Steelers are hoping Rodgers can get them over the hump of a near-decade of playoff incompetence. The franchise has lost six straight postseason games, including a wild-card round loss in four of the last five seasons. Rodgers heads to Pittsburgh after a disappointing 2024 season for the 5-12 Jets, during which he threw for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Betting on the NFL? He replaces Russell Wilson, who is expected to take the starting job with the Giants. Rodgers will throw to a revamped receiving corps after the Steelers traded for star pass-catcher D.K. Metcalf and dealt away George Pickens to the Cowboys.

Stuart Skinner wasn't at fault for Game 3 loss, but Oilers need him back at his best
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Narratives during the playoffs can flip back and forth like a boomerang, and the velocity tends to ramp up when the Stanley Cup is on the line. Case in point: Stuart Skinner. The mustachioed Edmonton Oilers goaltender has gone from the impenetrable shutout king and the guy who outduelled Jake Oettinger again to getting pulled in Game 3 after allowing five goals for the second straight contest. Advertisement In terms of problems from Monday's 6-1 loss to the defending champion Florida Panthers, Skinner wasn't at the top of the list. Considering the Oilers' discipline issues, a stagnant offense and getting hemmed in by an aggressive Panthers forecheck, Skinner might not even make the podium. But he is the goalie, and pucks are getting past him greater frequency — something that was particularly apparent Monday. 'I don't think there are any bad goals,' Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. 'Maybe an extra save (would have helped). But it doesn't matter how well Stu played — it wouldn't have made any difference in the game, most likely. I'm not holding anything against Stu on that performance.' But Knoblauch wouldn't declare Skinner his Game 4 starter after the game and reiterated that stance a day later. 'We haven't decided,' he said Tuesday. 'We'll announce that before the game.' Skinner was in the starter's net at practice, a sign he's likely to play on Thursday, despite a lack of confirmation from the coach. But Calvin Pickard, a six-win backup this postseason, is at the ready, and it seems like Skinner's leash is getting shorter. Monday was the Oilers' worst game of the playoffs since Game 2 of their opening-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, a 6-2 loss. Perhaps not coincidentally, Skinner was pulled that night, also in the third period, after allowing five goals on 28 shots. He was on the same below-average level as the Oilers skaters in front of him in that one, just as was the case in Florida. 'I think a lot of the games that Stu maybe wasn't on his A game, our team wasn't on its A game in front of him,' Knoblauch said. Pickard got the crease when the Oilers came home for Game 3 after Skinner surrendered 11 goals through his first 5 ½ periods of the postseason. Pickard won four straight against the Kings to pull the Oilers out of the depths of despair and then started the next round against Vegas with two more victories. He would have stayed in the net had he not suffered an injury when Golden Knights forward Tomas Hertl fell on him. Advertisement Skinner had been outstanding after returning to the crease until the final began. He had some excellent stretches during the first two games in Edmonton as well. Monday's performance was different. The Oilers were poor and disjointed. Skinner was unable to bail out his teammates. 'We've got to do a better job in front of him,' defenseman Darnell Nurse said. 'This isn't the first time that we've said that over the course of the playoffs. When you make your goaltender make Grade-A stops, it's tough, especially against a really good team. We're going to have to defend better. All things we are capable of doing.' Skinner accepted his share of the blame after Monday's trouncing. There wasn't an excuse to be found despite how seemingly difficult it was to get into the game with seven power plays in the first period – four for Florida and three for Edmonton. 'It's definitely difficult, but that's hockey,' he said. 'If I wasn't able to handle it, I shouldn't be playing.' Skinner found a couple of the goals he let in to be 'chaotic.' There were some great shots, he said, by Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Reinhart before Sam Bennett's breakaway goal where he never seemed to have a chance. 'But as a goalie, you've got to come up with a save,' Skinner said. 'It doesn't matter. It's a game of inches. I don't like letting open shots in, so I take accountability on those.' 'I don't know how much we're going to put on Stu,' Oilers captain Connor McDavid said after the loss. 'That's honorable of him to try to do that. We can be better for sure.' Five pucks beat Skinner on 23 Panthers shots before he was yanked with 16:33 left in the third period after an Aaron Ekblad power-play goal. 'We're not playing very well in front of him,' Knoblauch said. 'I don't think it's fair for him to stick in it and play through it. Whether we use (Pickard) again, there's a little opportunity for him to get some playing time so when we do use him, he's a little more comfortable when he goes in that net.' These playoffs, perhaps even more than last year, have showcased Skinner's extreme highs and lows. He has three shutouts and was tremendous during latter stages of the second round and in the Western Conference final, yet he has a below-average .894 save percentage over the full postseason. Evan Bouchard is up there for the most polarizing Oiler among the fan base during the regular season, but his elite annual playoff performances make up for that. Nurse, largely because of his $9.25 million cap hit, gets plenty of scorn, too. Advertisement But it's Skinner, as the hometown kid who plays the most important position in the sport, who probably takes the cake. He tends to either run red-hot or ice-cold with little grey area in between. That's part of the reason Knoblauch referred to him as a 'really good goaltender' in late November before the 4 Nations rosters were due, but with a caveat. Of course, Skinner wasn't named to Team Canada. 'There's elite goalies who are winning trophies and awards,' Knoblauch said then. 'I think he's right below that.' It's not like Skinner lets in putrid goals with great regularity. The stinker his Panthers counterpart Sergei Bobrovsky surrendered to Viktor Arvidsson in the second period of Game 2 probably goes down as the softest goal allowed in this series. It's just that there are times when he's not stopping enough pucks. Skinner has given up 3.3 more goals than expected in all situations in the series, per Natural Stat Trick. That was highlighted by allowing 2.48 more goals than expected in Game 3 alone. Skinner has shown he can be much better. That he's been so recently superb probably buys him the enough clout to lead the team onto the ice for Game 4. Provided Skinner does get the call on Thursday, the Oilers will need more from him – and out of themselves. 'He's been playing unbelievable in the last, what, three, four, five weeks,' defenseman Mattias Ekholm said. 'I don't know how long it's been now, but it feels like a long time that he hasn't had a bad game. Maybe (Monday) night was one of those when it was good to get it out of the system. Hopefully, it's one of those, a night off. 'I've got all the confidence in the world that our D corps, our defensive game, our goalie is going to step up big in Game 4.'
