Ty Johnson Dealing With Torn Pectoral Muscle

Former New York Jets running back Ty Johnson (pectoral) revealed on his personal Instagram account that he was released last month with a non-football injury designation due to a torn pectoral muscle that he suffered while working out on his own. Johnson underwent surgery on the advice of a Jets doctor and was released shortly thereafter. The 25-year-old may have to wait a while before a team feels comfortable signing him after a pretty serious injury. The 25-year-old running back had a career-low 30 carries for 160 yards and a touchdown and also caught 12 passes for 88 yards in 17 games (one start) for the Jets last year. The former sixth-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2019 should eventually latch on elsewhere once he's back to full health.

Ty Johnson Underwent Surgery This Offseason

Free-agent running back Ty Johnson (pectoral) posted a video to his Instagram account on Friday, revealing he underwent surgery this offseason. The 2019 sixth-round pick was re-signed by the Jets in March. However, after suffering a pec tear while working out, the team released him with a non-football injury designation. Johnson finished last season by appearing in all 17 games for New York, amassing 160 yards off 30 carries while adding 12 catches for 88 yards. It's unknown how long he'll need to rehab. But Johnson will have to find a new club before he draws any consideration from fantasy managers.
