The New York Jets are now forced to replace an integral member of their roster for the second straight season due to a torn Achilles tendon after defensive end Jermaine Johnson suffered the injury on Sunday.
Johnson’s girlfriend, social media influencer Hannah Brooke, also reacted to her man’s devastating injury.
Brooke has over 462,000 followers on Instagram and is best known for her time on the Netflix reality series ‘Too Hot To Handle.’
Much like Aaron Rodgers a year ago, Johnson will likely be out for the entire season due to the injury. It’s unknown if he’ll try alternative health methods like his quarterback did.
Brooke and Johnson’s relationship went public last August when she shared a post of the two getting close at MetLife Stadium.
The couple has been dating for a year after making their romance public on social media.
Johnson’s 2024 season is likely over after he tore his Achilles tendon Sunday against the Titans.
“We will come back stronger. Let’s keep the faith,” Brooke said on Instagram, posting a photo of the moment Johnson was helped off the field against the Titans via a medical cart.
‘Thank you all for your prayers and wishing Jermaine a speedy recovery.’
Johnson has appeared in good spirits since the injury, posting a video of himself on a leg scooter after his injury was confirmed.
“Thank you all for the prayers and support!” Johnson said on X. “This is not a dark time for me, although there will be dark days ahead, this is God’s way for me to not only grow as a man, a person, and a player, but to inspire others to do the same. 11 will be back and it will be better, PRE-ORDER IT!”
The Jets won Sunday’s game in Nashville and improved their record to 1-1. They have a short week, as they will play at home on Thursday against the Patriots.
Johnson’s injury puts a new context on the Jets’ contract negotiations with Hasson Reddick, who has sat out training camp and every game this season to get more money.
