Jets will work out journeyman QB Josh Johnson: source

Matt Flynn may have just signed with the Jets, but he already has to look over his shoulder.

The Jets will work out journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson Thursday, according to a source. Johnson was recently cut by the Bengals.

Gang Green signed Flynn last week to be their backup quarterback to Ryan Fitzpatrick while Geno Smith recovers from a broken jaw. At the time, head coach Todd Bowles only offered faint praise for Flynn, saying “he was the only one available.” Flynn is recovering from a hamstring injury but Bowles is hoping the quarterback will be ready for the team’s final preseason game next week.
