Former New York Jets running back Ty Johnson claimed his offseason exit came after he underwent a surgery that was recommended by the team.
In a video he posted to Instagram on Friday (via Billy Riccette of Jets Wire), he said he suffered a torn pectoral and informed the Jets of the injury. A team doctor recommended he get the injury addressed, yet the Jets cut him following his procedure.
