The New York Jets could be missing top wide receiver Garrett Wilson when they face the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. Head coach Aaron Glenn revealed during a Wednesday press conference that Wilson has been placed in the concussion protocol.
It remains unclear exactly when Wilson began experiencing concussion symptoms or when he entered the protocol, as he was on the field for the entirety of last Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. In that game, Wilson recorded six receptions for 83 yards.
Glenn described Wilson's status as day-to-day and indicated that the team will track his progress through the protocol over the next few days. On the season, Wilson has totaled 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns.
Should Wilson be unavailable, the Jets have other wide receivers on their 53-man roster: Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Isaiah Williams, Tim Patrick, and Malik McClain.
Key Analysis
Wilson's potential absence is a significant concern for the Jets' offense as they prepare for a tough road matchup against the Chiefs. His production and reliability have been key components of the passing attack, and his availability will be a major storyline to watch as the week progresses.
