New York Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson announced on social media that he suffered a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season.

"I did tear my Achilles," Johnson said in a video. "But we good, man. We're in great spirits. We're going to get back right."

The Jets feared a torn right Achilles tendon for Johnson when he left Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans with a noncontact injury in the third quarter.

"I thought somebody stepped on me," Johnson said Sunday.
