Overview
- Coach Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday that wide receiver Garrett Wilson was placed in the concussion protocol after a late hit in Sunday’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Wilson will be treated as day-to-day and must progress through the NFL’s multi-step return-to-participation process and receive independent clearance before he can return to practice or a game.
- If Wilson cannot play Sunday, Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. are expected to assume larger roles in the passing game for Geno Smith.
- Wilson leads the Jets this season with 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns, making his potential absence a major setback for a 2-6 team on a three-game losing streak.
- Trade-deadline chatter continues ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, but public reporting so far says the Jets do not plan to move Wilson and his concussion status has not changed that stance.
