Tyler Johnson News: Scores first TD of season

Johnson caught three of five targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

Johnson stepped up in the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (IR, hip). The highlight of Johnson's performance was a 15-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the second straight game in which Johnson reached the 60-yard threshold and led the Jets in receiving yards. The Jets may get Wilson back in Week 10 against the Browns following a Week 9 bye, but with Reynolds required to miss at least three more games, Johnson could maintain a solid complementary role.
