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

MRI results point to a short absence that could keep the All-Pro wideout out until after New York’s Week 9 bye.

Overview

  • Wilson was hurt late in Sunday’s 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, and Monday’s MRI confirmed a hyperextension with no major structural damage, per multiple ESPN reports.
  • Reporting indicates he is likely to miss the next two games against the Panthers and Bengals, with a potential return after the bye on Nov. 9 versus the Browns.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wilson “has a knee” and is still being evaluated, with a fuller update expected on the standard injury-report schedule.
  • The Jets own the league’s fewest passing yards and a 0-6 record, and Wilson leads the team with 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns, leaving a thin receiver group to fill the void.
  • Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson and rookie Arian Smith are the next options at wideout, while TE Mason Taylor and RB Breece Hall have been among the team’s most-targeted pass catchers.
