Jets’ Aaron Glenn Mum on Garrett Wilson as Report Projects 3–4-Week Knee Absence
An ESPN report of a rehab-only knee sprain projected at three to four weeks forces New York to fast-track Adonai Mitchell.
Overview
- The Jets listed Garrett Wilson as a non-participant on Monday and Tuesday, and he is widely viewed as very unlikely to play Thursday against the Patriots.
- ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports Wilson is expected to miss at least three to four weeks with a right knee sprain that requires rehab rather than surgery.
- Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to provide an update and ended a testy exchange by telling reporters to ask the ESPN reporter; Wilson deferred questions to his coach.
- New York’s receiver depth is strained with Josh Reynolds on injured reserve and Allen Lazard a recent healthy scratch, compounding the impact of Wilson’s absence.
- The team faces urgency to get recent acquisition Adonai Mitchell ready after he was inactive in Week 10, with the passing game producing just 54 yards against Cleveland.
