New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson injured a hamstring in practice Sunday and will be sidelined indefinitely.

The 29-year-old veteran apparently suffered the injury on a long interception return.

“Anytime a guy that makes a living has a hamstring … we’ll see how it goes,” coach Adam Gase said, per ESPN. “He’s going to have to get a lot of treatment and strengthen it up, and we’ll get him back as fast as possible.”

Johnson made 10 starts in his first season with the Jets in 2018, registering 40 tackles, four interceptions and one fumble recovery. He signed a five-year, $72.5 million deal with $34 million in guarantees in March 2018.

He has appeared in 95 career games (72 starts) with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-17) and the Jets and has 22 interceptions, four of them returned for touchdowns.
