Jets' Garrett Wilson Hyperextends Knee, Expected to Miss a Couple of Weeks

Imaging showed no severe structural damage, suggesting a short timetable that likely runs through the pre-bye stretch.

Overview

  • An MRI confirmed a hyperextended knee for Wilson, and he is expected to miss “a couple of weeks,” per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • Wilson was hurt late in the 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, missed the final snap, and finished with three catches for 13 yards in a game where the Jets posted -10 net passing yards.
  • ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported the injury is not believed to be season ending, with some thought he could return after the Week 9 bye.
  • The Jets, now 0-6, face the Panthers and Bengals next, and will lean on Josh Reynolds plus tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall, with Allen Lazard’s status to be monitored.
  • Wilson leads New York with 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns this season and has not previously missed an NFL game since being drafted and signing a four-year, $130 million extension.
