Overview
- Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Garrett Wilson has been placed in the concussion protocol and will be treated as day-to-day while he progresses through evaluations.
- The NFL protocol is a five-step return-to-participation process that moves from light balance work to full football activity and requires clearance from team medical staff and often an independent consultant.
- Wilson has been productive this season with 43 receptions for about 527 yards and three touchdowns, and his possible absence would force Geno Smith to target Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper more frequently.
- The team’s short-term plans could also lean on a healthier run game, with Breece Hall trending toward a return and Braelon Allen and rookie David Bailey providing depth for an offense on a three-game losing streak.
- Trade-deadline interest in Wilson continues around the league, but multiple reports say the Jets are not planning to trade him and Wilson has expressed a desire to remain in New York.
