Trenton Cannon couldn’t have felt worse after Sunday’s win over the Colts, as it turned out he ended the season of Indianapolis wide receiver Marcus Johnson.

During a kickoff return, Johnson took a couple steps out of bounds when the Jets running back and special teamer dove low for his legs. Johnson ended up tearing a ligament in his right ankle on the play and has since been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Cannon, upset with himself, later sent an apology to Johnson, according to The Indianapolis Star.

“It was unfortunate, but nothing against that guy,” Johnson said. “I had to leave, obviously, but told one of my teammates, ‘I didn’t mean to hurt him. It wasn’t anything like that.’ I definitely respect that from him.”

Cannon, 24, has yet to see much playing time with the Jets. The rookie has been more involved on special teams lately, which is how Johnson’s injury unfortunately happened.

Cannon is a young player and he will learn from his mistake. You never want to hit a player who is already out of bounds, but going low is always dangerous.

At the very least, Johnson seems to be in good spirits despite the unfortunate incident.
