Overview
- Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Garrett Wilson has been placed in the NFL concussion protocol and is being treated day-to-day.
- Wilson took a heavy hit on a late 15-yard reception in the loss to the Raiders that drew an unnecessary-roughness flag and the team likely recognized the injury after the game.
- Through eight games Wilson leads the Jets with 43 catches on 63 targets for 527 yards and three touchdowns, so his absence would significantly alter the offense.
- If Wilson is sidelined the Jets will shift more targets to Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper, with Mitchell coming off a 7-catch, 142-yard performance in Week 8.
- Wilson must complete the stepwise return-to-play process and be cleared by an independent concussion consultant before he can return, so his availability for Arrowhead will depend on testing and symptom progress.
