Wilson

Glenn also said that it’s up to the doctors whether or not Wilson, who was placed on IR earlier this week, will return. The star receiver is required to miss at least three more games before a return can even be considered, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the team opted to play it cautious with him in what is already a lost season. The earliest Wilson can return is Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Wilson will now miss at least four games as he rehabs his injured knee. He will be eligible to return when the Jets face the Jaguars in Week 15. Following reports on his rehab progress will be worthwhile. Starting a player immediately following an injured reserve stint can be dicey in Week 15. Hopefully, he is practicing in full that week and can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Unfortunately, there is a chance that the team chooses to shut him down for the rest of the year, given their poor record. Stay tuned.

Rapoport might just be reading the tea leaves here, but it’s a reasonable assessment of the situation. Wilson re-aggravated his lingering knee injury on Sunday and is now expected to miss 3-4 weeks. The Jets are midway through another lost year and Wilson is under contract through the 2023 season. Neither party stands to gain much from rushing him back. Wilson has already been ruled out for Week 11. Putting him on injured reserve later today would force him to miss at least three more games.

No surprises here as Wilson is expected to miss 3-4 weeks after reaggravating his knee injury versus the Browns on Sunday. Tyler Johnson and Arian Smith are now the team’s top wideouts. Adonai Mitchell could also be active for the Jets this week after being a healthy scratch in Week 10. No Jets player caught more than one pass last week. There isn’t any fantasy value to be had here.

Wilson’s return from injury was cut short when he re-aggravated the same knee injury that forced him to the sidelines in Week 6 against the Broncos. It’s a tough blow for one of the league’s worst offenses, which will now look to guys like Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie, and Josh Reynolds to lead a pass offense that has been grounded for much of the season. A four-week absence would mean Wilson could have a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Jaguars. Given the current state of the Jets’ season, it will be interesting to see if the team opts to play him when healthy or sideline him for the rest of another lost season.

Wilson re-aggravated the knee injury he suffered in Week 6 against the Broncos. It was Wilson’s first game back from the injury, and he failed to haul in any of the three targets that came in his direction. Although Justin Fields can certainly be blamed for some of that. Wilson will undergo additional imaging on his knee to determine where things stand right now, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he was again sidelined after this latest setback.

Concerning, though it appeared to be more of a tweak than major concern. Wilson went down in the third quarter. Labeled “questionable,” he spent time on the exercise bike and never left the sideline. He just never returned to what ended up a tight Jets victory. Wilson was held without a catch on three targets before going down. A passing inept Justin fields could get nothing going on a rainy day in Jersey. We would consider Wilson day to day ahead of Week 11 against the Patriots on Thursday Night Football, though the Jets will obviously exercise extreme caution on a short week.

Wilson’s status progressed as expected this week following his one-game absence and the Jets’ subsequent bye. He will be catching passes from Justin Fields. Inactive for Gang Green are WR Allen Lazard, WR Adonai Mitchell, RB Khalil Herbert, LB Kiko Mauigoa, OG Xavier Newman, TE Jelani Woods and EDGE Tyler Baron.

The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Wilson was listed as questionable on Friday after a full practice. Coming off the bye week, he was always expected to return for today’s game. Having seen at least eight targets in every game this year, Wilson is stepping right back into the WR1 ranks for his Week 10 date with the Browns.

Wilson remained limited on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation on Friday. He told reporters on Thursday that he will play, and we generally believe him, though it is possible the Jets will play it safe by keeping him out one more week. The team’s Week 9 bye allowed Wilson to rehab for three weeks while missing just two games. He is a borderline WR1/2 if active.
