Overview
- The Jets ruled Garrett Wilson out on Friday for Sunday’s game at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium after he entered the NFL concussion protocol earlier this week.
- Wilson sustained a helmet-to-helmet hit on a 15-yard catch in the closing moments of Sunday’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and reported symptoms when he returned to the facility on Monday.
- He missed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday practices while progressing through the multi-step concussion clearance process, which requires team and independent medical approval to return.
- With Wilson unavailable, the Jets will pivot to Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. as primary receiving options and will also factor in the return of running back Breece Hall to change offensive game plans.
- Wilson leads the team in targets, catches and receiving yards this season and his health this week will shape roster valuation ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline and the Jets’ short-term competitiveness.
