Why did the Jets set up a bench against CB Trumaine Johnson against Browns?

Decimated by injuries, including linebacker C.J. Mosley (sprained at the groin) and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (Sprained left ankle), the Jets released a revised defense against a Browns attack littered with dangerous players.

Already weak in high school, New York seemed not to have one of its main defenders and was leaving in a corner Trumaine Johnson, which the team has signed for five years and $ 72.5 million before the 2018 season.

But when the Jets took the field for the first three quarters of Monday's 23-3 loss to Cleveland at MetLife Stadium, Johnson was sidelined as the quarterback of the Browns Baker Mayfield (325 yards passing) and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (161 receiving yards) rolled New York into the air.

"We just decided not to play against him," said the Jets head coach. Adam Gase said of Johnson, who played only after cornerback Nate Hairston left the match with an injury at the end of the third quarter.

Johnson was also shy.

"I was going with those, back and forth, all week during training," Johnson said. "… I did not play, I was just there to support my teammates today."
