Shows life in close loss
Wilson completed 28 of his 39 pass attempts for 245 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while gaining 14 yards on two carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Wilson struggled to complete half of his passing attempts through three appearances this season (52 percent entering Sunday), so expectations against the reigning Super Bowl champions were understandably low. The 2021 second overall pick responded with one of the cleaner passing performances we've seen him deliver to date. It would take more than one solid outing from the BYU product to undo the past two seasons of mediocrity, but it was an encouraging effort on the national stage against a…read more

Struggles continue in Week 3 loss
Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 157 yards while rushing once for one yard in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Wilson threw for only 29 yards in the first half as the Jets took a 10-3 deficit into the locker room. He came alive with 79 passing yards on a fourth-quarter touchdown drive capped by a one-yard Nick Bawden touchdown run, but Wilson failed to produce a first down on New York's next two possessions. He got one last chance as the Jets got the ball with 16 seconds left, and Wilson almost pulled off the miracle comeback, as his Hail Mary on the final play bounced off Randall Cobb's hand after a…read more

Tough day in Dallas
Wilson completed 12 of 27 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. He added 36 rushing yards on five carries.
Analysis: The third-year QB actually led the Jets in rushing, as the Dallas defense put together another dominant performance. Wilson's numbers in the first half were fairly solid, highlighted by a 68-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) in the second quarter, but all three of his INTs came on New York's final three drives as he tried to make something happen to bring his team back from a 17-point deficit. Wilson faces another potentially tough matchup in Week 3 against the Patriots.

Named starting QB
Coach Robert Saleh reiterated Tuesday that Wilson is the Jets' starting quarterback after the team confirmed Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles during Monday's overtime win versus the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After taking over for Rodgers on New York's fifth offensive snap of the game, Wilson played the final 50 en route to 140 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception. He also had four carries for six yards and was sacked twice for minus-13 yards. Saleh noted that the Jets will add another quarterback at some point to a room that currently includes only practice-squad member Tim Boyle behind Wilson.

Taking over for Rodgers
Wilson will direct the Jets offense Sunday in Dallas and beyond after the team confirmed that Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles during Monday's overtime win against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rodgers lasted just four plays before being lost for the season. Wilson then took over New York's offense and put together an uneven performance, going 14-for-21 with 140 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception plus four carries for six yards and two sacks taken for 13 yards lost. Coach Robert Saleh and company will move forward with Wilson at quarterback, but the team could bring in a veteran option as soon as this week to bolster the depth chart. Currently, Tim Boyle is the only…read more

Set to start rest of season
Coach Robert Saleh said Wilson will "be the guy" under center for the Jets for the rest of the season after Aaron Rodgers suffered what the team believes is an Achilles injury during Monday's 22-16 overtime win versus the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilson stepped in for Rodgers on the Jets' fifth offensive play after the former Packer left the game. Wilson had his usual struggles, completing 14 of 21 passes for 140 yards, one touchdown and one interception, rushing four times for six yards and getting sacked twice for a loss of 13 yards. His TD to Garrett Wilson with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter tied the contest at 13-13, although the receiver bailed out his quarterback with a highlight-reel effort to reel in a…read more

Solid in another start
Wilson completed nine of 13 passes for 70 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed twice for 41 yards in the Jets' 13-6 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Aaron Rodgers once again got the night off, so Wilson's busy preseason continued with another respectable showing. Unlike last week's shutout win over the Panthers, Wilson wasn't able to get the Jets into the end zone, but he had an impact play with a 35 yard-run and remained free of turnovers. The third-year signal-caller appears to have settled in nicely after his abrupt demotion this offseason and may get one final chance to tune up for his No. 2 role behind Rodgers when the Jets face off…read more

Draws another preseason start
Wilson is slated to start Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As was the case in last weekend's contest against the Panthers, Wilson will be followed by Tim Boyle, while top QB Aaron Rodgers won't play. As for the Jets' Aug. 26 exhibition finale against the Giants, coach Robert Saleh noted that he has yet to decide if Rodgers will see action.

Solid showing in Saturday's win
Wilson completed 14 of 20 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-0 win over Carolina. He added one rushing attempt for two yards.
Analysis: Wilson delivered a decent performance while playing the entire first half. He spent the first two drives surrounded by the majority of New York's starters, with the notable exceptions of top wide receiver Garrett Wilson (ankle) and running back Breece Hall (knee). Wilson's touchdown pass came in the final seconds of the first half, as he found reserve tight end Kenny Yeboah from two yards out.

Getting another preseason start
Wilson will start Saturday's preseason game in Carolina, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson also started the Jets' preseason opener against the Browns, in which he completed three of five passes for 65 yards. Veteran QB Aaron Rodgers reportedly won't be in consideration to take the field until New York's preseason finale, so Wilson should continue to see action ahead of third-stringer Tim Boyle. Coach Robert Saleh declined to confirm whether the starting offense will see the field versus the Panthers.

Draws start Thursday
Wilson completed three of five passes for 65 yards in the Jets' 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.
Analysis: Wilson was the first quarterback in with Aaron Rodgers getting the night off, and matters didn't get off on the right foot when he took a sack on the Jets' second play from scrimmage. However, the 2021 first-round pick rebounded on his second possession with a 57-yard completion to Malik Taylor from his own seven-yard line to help set up a Greg Zuerlein field goal. Wilson was in for one more drive, which also culminated in three points off the foot of Zuerlein, before giving way to Tim Boyle.…read more

In line to start Thursday
Wilson is slated to draw the start at QB in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Browns, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Coach Robert Saleh noted that it has yet to be determined how much Wilson will play in the team's exhibition opener. In any case, the 2021 first-rounder is slated to spend the coming season backing up veteran newcomer Aaron Rodgers, with Tim Boyle and Chris Streveler also in the Jets' depth signal-caller mix.

Will play Thursday
Head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson will play during Thursday's Hall of Fame preseason game versus Cleveland, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Saleh said he doesn't expect the starters to play at all during Thursday's game, so Wilson, who's expected to be the primary backup to Aaron Rodgers in 2023, figures to get an extended look. Tim Boyle and Chris Streveler will presumably get worked into the mix as well.

Likely staying in NY as backup
The Jets plan to keep Wilson around in a backup role after trading for Aaron Rodgers on Monday, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reports.
Analysis: The report notes that Wilson and Rodgers have become friends, and the Jets hope they can still salvage something from the No. 2 overall pick down the line in 2024 or 2025. Wilson has completed 55.2 percent of his passes for 6.4 YPA as a pro, showing no real progress last season as he was benched for poor performance on two occasions. With Rodgers set to start in New York for the next year or two, the 23-year-old Wilson drops down the depth chart and may even face a challenge from Tim Boyle for…read more

Wraps up poor sophomore season
Wilson finished his second season with 1,688 passing yards and a 6:7 TD:INT in nine starts. He added 102 yards and one touchdown on 28 rushing attempts, in addition to catching a two-yard touchdown.
Analysis: Wilson didn't show much progress from his forgettable rookie season, but the team around him improved substantially, allowing him to post a 5-4 record in 2022 after opening his career with a 3-10 record. The second player selected in the 2021 NFL Draft likely will remain on the Jets' roster in the fall, but Wilson won't be handed the starting role and probably will come into camp as the backup. New York's expected to add an alternative under center, either by re-signing Mike White or pursuing a…read more

Will dress for Week 18
Wilson will be active in Sunday's game against the Dolphins as the backup to starting quarterback Joe Flacco, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Earlier in the week, Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson would remain a healthy inactive for the season finale, but the Jets opted for a change in plans while Mike White continues to tend to four fractured ribs. White was able to play through the injury in last week's loss to the Seahawks that ended the Jets' playoff hopes, and with little at stake in Week 18, the coaching staff won't take any chances with the injured signal-caller. Wilson will thus get one chance to suit up again before…read more

Won't suit up Week 18
Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Wednesday that Wilson will remain a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Even though the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention with their 23-6 loss to Seattle this past weekend, Saleh won't use a mostly meaningless season finale as an opportunity to get another look at Wilson, as Mike White will make a second straight start while Joe Flacco dresses as the backup quarterback. Though Wilson will be in street clothes for the second consecutive week to close out the season, Saleh reiterated that the organization remains committed to maximizing the 2021 No. 2…read more

Will be healthy inactive Week 17
Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Wilson will be a healthy inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Mike White (ribs) was cleared for contact earlier Monday and is in line to reclaim the starting gig, so Saleh is opting to have veteran Joe Flacco operate as the primary backup to White, sending Wilson to the inactive list again. Even if White wasn't cleared, it's possible Wilson would've ceded the starting job to Flacco or Chris Streveler after back-to-back bad outings. Despite Wilson's struggles this year, Saleh remains confident in the 2021 first-round pick, saying the young quarterback…read more

Bound for bench
Wilson is set to return to a reserve role Sunday in Seattle after Mike White (ribs) received clearance from doctors to start the Week 17 contest, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Even if White was forced to miss his third straight game in Week 17 while recovering from broken ribs, Wilson might have ceded the starting job to either Chris Streveler or Joe Flacco following a pair of poor showings in his return from a three-game benching. Between losses to the Lions and Jaguars in Week 15 and Week 16, respectively, Wilson completed just 27 of 53 pass attempts (50.9 percent) for 409 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while taking seven sacks. Streveler came on to…read more

Coach non-committal on future
Coach Robert Saleh didn't commit Friday to Wilson starting even if Mike White (ribs) remains sidelined moving forward, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "We've got time," Saleh said when asked about New York's quarterback situation. "I don't have those answers for you yet." Wilson failed to break triple digits in passing yards Thursday before exiting to a chorus of boos in the third quarter as the Jets turned to the Taysom Hill-like Chris Streveler in an effort to spark the offense. Despite the 19-3 loss to Jacksonville, the Jets remain mathematically alive for a playoff spot, and letting Wilson learn on the fly may not give the team much of a…read more

Early seat in Week 16 loss
Wilson completed nine of 18 passes for 92 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night. He also rushed once for one yard and threw his last pass with 5:33 remaining in the third quarter before being replaced by Chris Streveler.
Analysis: Wilson had a chance to redeem himself in what was a second straight start in place of Mike White (ribs), but as his numbers indicate, that didn't come to fruition. The Jets immediately looked sluggish under the embattled second-year signal-caller, losing three yards on four plays on their first possession after taking over at the Jaguars' 18-yard line following a fumble recovery. New York then netted just 49 yards on 14 plays over the next three possessions and Wilson then threw an interception…read more

Set for another start
Wilson will start Thursday's game against the Jaguars with Mike White (ribs) ruled out, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wilson will get a chance to audition in prime time as the Jets' playoff hopes hang in the balance, making Thursday's contest a potentially pivotal moment for the 2021 first-round pick's future with the team. The second-year pro threw for 317 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in last week's loss to the Lions, but he also missed a number of open throws. Per Brian Costello of the New York Post, coach Robert Saleh said White will be evaluated on a weekly basis, so it's still too early to…read more

Likely starter Thursday
Wilson is likely to start Thursday against the Jaguars, as fellow quarterback Mike White (ribs) has yet to be cleared for contact, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilson threw for 317 yards while filling in for White in Week 15, but the Jets lost, 20-17, to the Lions as Wilson missed multiple easy throws against the vulnerable Detroit secondary. Thursday's game basically is a must-win for the 7-7 Jets, so White likely would play in the unlikely scenario that he gets medical clearance in the next few days.

Tops 300 yards in Week 15 loss
Wilson completed 18 of 35 passes for 317 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions. He added three rushing attempts for seven yards.
Analysis: After a quiet first quarter, Wilson produced consecutive big plays through the air to open the second, finding Garrett Wilson for a 33-yard gain before tossing a 40-yard touchdown to C.J. Uzomah to tie the score at 7-7. Later in the second quarter, Wilson uncorked a 50-yard deep ball to Jeff Smith to set up a field goal to end the first half. The second-year quarterback finished the first half with 185 passing yards and no turnovers, but he was picked off on the first possession after halftime…read more

Could get two-game starting run
Wilson, who will start Sunday's game against the Lions, also appears likely to direct the Jets offense in the team's Week 16 game against the Jaguars on Thursday with Mike White (ribs) not expected to be available, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: White was already ruled out in advance of the Week 15 game Friday, when he wasn't cleared to take contact after being diagnosed with three rib fractures in the aftermath of last Sunday's loss to the Bills, according to Rapoport. Due to the quick turnaround for the Week 16 contest, White faces an uphill battle to make it back for that game, so the Jets are prepared to give Wilson another trial as their starter.

Analysis: Though Wilson isn't poised to recapture the starting role just yet, he'll at least be on track to dress this weekend after he was inactive for the past three weeks as New York's No. 3 quarterback. White is slated to begin Week 15 prep as a limited participant due to the rib issue that twice caused him to exit last Sunday's loss to Buffalo, but Saleh noted that the Jets are preparing as though White will be ready to start against Detroit, barring any setbacks, per Andy Vasquez of The Bergen…read more

May leapfrog Flacco on depth chart
Jets head coach Robert Saleh suggested that Wilson could be active over Joe Flacco as the team's No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Lions, assuming Mike White (ribs) is able to start, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: After exiting on two occasions in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills, White visited a Buffalo-area hospital following the game as a precaution before flying back to New York City. White's medical tests didn't reveal anything overly concerning, so the Jets are tentatively labeling him as day-to-day with the expectation that he'll be ready to play this Sunday.

Analysis: With Wilson still out of the mix Sunday, Mike White -- who turned in a strong effort in the Jets' 31-10 win over the Bears in Week 12 -- will draw another start at QB, with Joe Flacco slated to handle backup duties. Wilson does figure to re-enter the team's starting equation down the road, though at this stage there's no timetable for such a potential transition back to the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Analysis: Wilson stayed down after taking a big hit in the first quarter and was checked out in the medical tent for what Rich Cimini of ESPN reports was an ankle injury, but he returned for New York's next possession after the Jets kicked a field goal.

INTs overshadow 355-yard outing
Wilson completed 20 of 41 passes for 355 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots. He added two rushing yards on one attempt.
Analysis: Wilson set up a first-quarter field goal with a 54-yard deep ball to Garrett Wilson, then gave New York a 10-3 lead in the second with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin. He threw a costly interception with New York driving in the final minute of the first half, as that play coupled with a Jets pick-six erased by a shoddy penalty call allowed New England to cut New York's lead to 10-6 heading into halftime.

No TDs in Week 7 win
Wilson completed 16 of 26 passes for 121 yards and rushed four times for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Wilson was stymied by the elite Broncos secondary but avoided turnovers as the defense and running game led the Jets to a fourth consecutive win. Breece Hall scored New York's only touchdown on a 62-yard run before exiting with what's believed to be a torn ACL. If Hall indeed suffered a season-ending injury, Wilson and the passing game will likely have to shoulder a heavier load moving forward, starting against the Patriots in Week 8.

Wilson completed 10 of 18 passes for 110 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Wilson had a long gain of 41 yards to Corey Davis during the second half, but he overall made a limited impact, posting comfortably his lowest yardage while not scoring for the first time this season. However, in avoiding any turnovers, Wilson still did enough to help the Jets earn an unlikely road victory. With a perfect record in his three games since returning from injury, Wilson will look to keep New York's momentum going while contributing more himself in Week 7 versus Denver.

Wilson completed 14 of 21 passes for 210 yards while adding two yards and a touchdown on four rushing attempts in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Wilson's 79-yard pass to Breece Hall on the final play of the first quarter set up a one-yard Michael Carter rushing touchdown to open the second, and the quarterback ran one in himself from five yards out later in the first half. New York went on to add three more rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Wilson's mistake-free performance allowed the Jets to pull away in a game they led wire to wire. Between Hall and Carter in the backfield and the wide receiver trio of Garrett Wilson, Corey…read more

Puts in full practice
Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilson's ability to take every rep during Thursday's session clears up any concern about his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, not that there was much concern to begin with. According to Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur suggested Wilson's limitations in Wednesday's practice were precautionary, and the quarterback's return to full activity the next day backed that up. More importantly, Wilson isn't dealing with any setbacks with the knee he…read more

Set for limited practice
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that Wilson will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That said, Saleh noted that the Jets' starting quarterback is "fine," which suggests that Wilson isn't in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, barring any setbacks. On the plus side, the meniscus issue that caused Wilson to miss the Jets' first three games no longer appears to be a concern.

Catches, throws TDs in season debut
Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over Pittsburgh. He added 15 rushing yards on two attempts and a two-yard touchdown catch.
Analysis: Just as we all predicted, Wilson caught a touchdown before throwing one, as he secured a two-yard touchdown pass from Braxton Berrios on a trick play to give New York a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. Wilson cost the Jets a chance at points just before halftime, though, as he threw a third-down interception with New York in field-goal range. His third-quarter interception set up a go-ahead Steelers touchdown, but Wilson made amends with a five-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis in the fourth…read more

Says he's 100 percent
Wilson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday and said he's "100 percent ready" to play this Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Jets head coach Robert Saleh already confirmed earlier in the day that Wilson will reclaim his role as the starting quarterback this weekend while Joe Flacco shifts back to the bench after a three-week stint marked by tons of volume (a league-high 155 pass attempts) and replacement-level efficiency (5.8 YPA, 58.7 completion percentage). The Jets obviously hope to run more, and they'll presumably do that with a more mobile quarterback in Wilson under center if they can break the trend of falling…read more

In line to start Sunday
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Wilson (knee) has been medically cleared and will start Sunday's game against the Steelers if the quarterback responds well to practice activity this week.
Analysis: Wilson missed the first three games of the season while recovering from a meniscectomy and a bone bruise to his right knee, but he's on track to unseat Joe Flacco atop the depth chart for Week 4. Flacco led the league in pass attempts over the first three weeks of the season, but the Jets would ideally opt for a lower-tempo, run-heavy approach Sunday to ease Wilson back in action if the game flow allows for it.

Coach expects Week 4 return
Coach Robert Saleh said the team expects Wilson (knee) to make his season debut Sunday at Pittsburgh, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: New York's team doctors will have the final say, but Saleh expects Wilson to be cleared and available Week 4. The team has had such a return date circled since the beginning of the regular season, and Joe Flacco's four turnovers Week 3 showed that the veteran is no threat to Wilson's starting job once the second-year quarterback is healthy.

Trending toward Week 4 return
Wilson, who continues to progress in his recovery from a meniscus injury and bone bruise in his knee, is expected to be cleared by doctors next week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: If that's the case, the QB -- who is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals -- would presumably be on track to return to action in Week 4 against the Steelers. In Wilson's ongoing absence, Joe Flacco is slated to continue filling in as the Jets' starting signal caller.

Ramping up, but won't play Week 3
Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Monday that Wilson (knee) won't be available to play Sunday against the Bengals, but the quarterback will slightly ramp up his activities in practice this week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Joe Flacco will pick up a third consecutive start this weekend in Wilson's stead after the veteran helped lead the Jets to a thrilling 31-30 come-from-behind victory over the Browns in Week 2. Though Saleh wouldn't say definitively that Wilson will be ready to return to the lineup to start Week 4 against the Steelers, the coach noted that the second-year signal-caller is "progressing well" in his recovery from the arthroscopic right knee procedure he required Aug. 16.

Staying sidelined Week 3
Wilson (knee) is not in contention to play Week 3 versus the Bengals, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: The Jets continue to take a cautious approach to Wilson's recovery, one that reportedly won't involve rushing him back on the field until he's back in full form. As such, Wilson's earliest possible return date is expected to be Sunday, Oct. 2 versus the Steelers. Joe Flacco is fresh off orchestrating a four-touchdown, 307-yard comeback win over the Browns, and he stands to remain New York's starter until Wilson is back to 100 percent.

Remains out Week 2
Wilson won't be available for Sunday's game against the Browns, as Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Joe Flacco will continue to fill in as the team's starting quarterback, with Wilson still working his way back from an Aug. 16 arthroscopic knee procedure, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Saleh already said last week that he didn't expect Wilson to be ready to start until Week 4 while the second-year signal-caller works back from his Aug. 16 arthroscopic right knee procedure. During Wednesday's practice, Wilson was at least able to take part in what Cimini described as very light on-field work, which hints at progress on some level. While Flacco remains the team's starter Week 2, Mike White is in line to serve as his backup for another game.

Won't do team work this week
Wilson (knee) will work with receivers in individual drills ahead of Week 2, but he won't do any full-team drills, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Wilson had an outside shot at playing Week 1, but after he was ruled out, the team said he likely won't suit up until at least Week 4. It's an encouraging sign to see the young quarterback returning to practice, but he still has some rehab ahead of him. Joe Flacco drew the start in the season-opening loss to the Ravens, and coach Robert Saleh said the veteran would "more than likely" start again Week 2 with Wilson sidelined.

Analysis: In the meantime, Joe Flacco is slated to start at quarterback for the Jets early on this season, beginning with Sunday's Week 1matchup with the Ravens. Per Saleh, Wilson won't go on injured reserve, which will enable the signal-caller to log some practice time prior to his return to the starting lineup.

Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that it's "possible" Wilson (knee) could start Week 1 versus the Ravens, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Saleh said a decision won't be made until Wilson's knee is evaluated at Wednesday's practice, but it's encouraging to see that he went through a workout Monday. Per Cimini, the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Baltimore will be announced Wednesday. Veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco is an option to line up under center Week 1 if Wilson isn't yet fully recovered from a meniscus tear and bone bruise in his right knee.

Decision won't come until September
Coach Robert Saleh said he's comfortable waiting until the week of New York's season opener against the Ravens to name a starter between Wilson (knee) and Joe Flacco, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: The Jets believe Wilson knows the offense well enough to jump into game action with just a week of preparation, but it's unclear if he'll have even that much before Week 1 as the second-year quarterback recovers from a meniscus tear and bone bruise in his knee. Flacco is handling first-team QB reps while Wilson recovers, but Wilson will be reinserted as the starter as soon as he's deemed healthy enough to play.

No update on timeline
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that he couldn't provide an update on Wilson's timeline to come back from Aug. 16 arthroscopic right knee surgery, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson hasn't been ruled out for the season opener against Baltimore, though he seems likely to miss at least one game with reports suggesting that he faces a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Joe Flacco is the Jets' top quarterback while Wilson recovers from the recent meniscus surgery.

Not ruled out for Week 1
Coach Robert Saleh isn't ready to rule Wilson (knee) out for New York's Sept. 11 season opener against the Ravens, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wilson has a return timetable of 4-6 weeks after undergoing knee surgery to repair his meniscus on Aug. 16. It's widely assumed that Joe Flacco will get the Week 1 nod under center against the veteran's former team, but Wilson still has a chance to play if his recovery lands on the shorter end of the projected window. "If Zach is ready to play, he's going to be the Week 1 starter," Saleh said. "If he's not, Joe will. That's no secret."

Could return in 4-to-6 weeks
Wilson (knee) may be ready to return in 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing successful arthroscopic surgery Tuesday on his meniscus, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While everything went according to plan with the surgery, prior estimates of 2-to-4 weeks may not have accounted for a bone bruise Wilson is also dealing with, or the Jets' reported desire to take a cautious approach with their second-year quarterback. Howe says it's not entirely out of the question that Wilson could be ready to play Week 1, but that doesn't sound especially likely, with Adam Schefter of ESPN having already reported that Joe Flacco is set to start the regular-season opener…read more

Undergoes successful meniscus trim
Wilson's knee surgery was successful, with no surprises from the original diagnosis, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It sounds liked doctors were able to address his meniscus by trimming it rather than repairing it. That was the Jets' expectation, but there was some chance he'd need a repair, which might've put his 2022 season in jeopardy. Instead, Wilson could be looking at a timetable as short as 2-4 weeks, though Cimini notes that the Jets won't put him on the field until he's back to 100 percent.

Analysis: Wilson suffered a bone bruise and a meniscus tear during Friday's preseason opener.

Out multiple weeks
Wilson suffered a bone bruise and a meniscus tear during Friday's preseason win, which will require minor "trimming" surgery, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. He's expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Analysis: This is probably the best-case scenario for the Jets considering the injury appeared to be far more serious after Wilson limped off the field from a non-contact knee injury. While a meniscus tear can have varying degrees of severity, it doesn't seem as if the 2021 No. 2 overall pick will miss significant time, and he could even be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. Expect Joe Flacco to take all the starting reps in the meantime.

Wilson sustained a right knee injury during Friday's preseason game in Philadelphia and is questionable to return.
Analysis: At the end of a seven-yard scramble in the first quarter, Wilson dove, had a visible limp when he got to his feet and then fell back to the turf, where he remained for multiple minutes. He then made his way to the locker room. Last year, he missed four games in the middle of the season due to a sprained PCL in his right knee, but it remains to be seen if he'll suffer a similar fate this time around.

Adding muscle in offseason
Wilson has raised his weight from 208 pounds to 221 by working with a nutritionist and chef in the offseason, and the second-year quarterback believes the increased weight will help him from an athleticism standpoint, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 6-foot-2 Wilson is on the smaller side for a quarterback, so he's hoping that putting on weight will help him avoid injuries without hampering the decent running ability he showcased en route to scoring four touchdowns on the ground as a rookie. Between Wilson's dedication and New York's universally lauded draft class, the Jets have had an encouraging offseason, but that won't mean much until it leads to positive results on the field.

Wilson completed seven of 20 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown and gained 24 yards on two carries in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: It was an awful end to Wilson's rookie season, as aside from a 40-yard TD toss to Keelan Cole in the second quarter, the QB had almost no success through the air. He finishes with a poor 9:11 TD:INT, 2,334 passing yards and a 55.6 percent completion rate over 13 games, but the Jets will continue to build around Wilson this offseason and hope he can take a very large step forward in 2022.

His touchdown came on a nine-yard pass to Braxton Berrios in the second quarter. Berrios also had a one-yard touchdown run, as did Ty Johnson.

Analysis: Wilson has been plagued by slow starts this season, but that wasn't the case in this one, as he completed all five of his passes for 55 yards on the Jets' first drive, leading to a Braxton Berrios rushing touchdown. He built on that hot start and scored a one-yard rushing touchdown of his own in the second quarter, helping New York take a 17-10 lead into the locker room.

Takes doubtful tag into weekend
The Jets list Wilson (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after he practiced on a limited basis throughout the week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, the rookie signal-caller carries a doubtful designation into the weekend, and it doesn't come as much of a surprise after head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Joe Flacco would start under center Week 11 while Mike White serves as his backup. Though the Jets were initially hopeful that Wilson would be able to play this weekend and put an end to a three-game absence due to a PCL sprain of his right knee, he took a small step back in terms of activity this week…read more

Not ready for game action
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson (knee) won't be active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Confirming multiple reports from earlier Wednesday, Saleh said Mike White -- who started the past three games in place of an injured Wilson -- is slated back up Joe Flacco on Sunday. Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record relays that Wilson, who is still working back from a PCL sprain of his right knee, is viewed as day-to-day and could reclaim starting duties as soon as Week 12 in Houston if he continues to make solid progress in practices. Per Eric Allen of the team's official site, the Jets plan…read more

Not in line to start Week 11
Wilson won't be available to start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, as the Jets aren't confident he's completely recovered from the PCL sprain of his right knee he suffered Week 7, Brian Costello of The New York Post reports. Joe Flacco will draw the start at quarterback Week 11.
Analysis: After a two-week layoff, Wilson resumed practicing last week and even turned in a full workout Friday, only to be included on the inactive list for the team's loss to the Bills while the Jets went with starter Mike White and Flacco as their two active quarterbacks. With another week of practice on tap, Wilson was expected to be ready to return to action against Miami, but the Jets apparently aren't convinced the rookie is 100 percent and are inclined to hold him out for a fourth consecutive…read more

Inactive for Week 10
Wilson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: As was expected after head coach Robert Saleh said earlier in the week that Mike White would pick up a third consecutive start at quarterback, Wilson will remain out while he continues to work his way back from a PCL sprain of his right knee. The No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft took a major step forward this week, practicing on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday. If Wilson can get in at least one or two full practices next week, he should be…read more

Doubtful despite full practice
Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills despite logging a full practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Jets have little reason to rush Wilson's return, especially with Mike White avoiding the injury report altogether after hurting his forearm in last Thursday's loss to the Colts. White has outplayed Wilson this season, and the Jets have a pair of capable of veterans in Joe Flacco and Josh Johnson at the quarterback position, so Wilson will almost certainly be made inactive Sunday. Wilson should be healthy enough to retake the starting job in Week 11 against Miami, though White could hold…read more

Wilson (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Wilson didn't take part in quarterback drills during the open portion of Thursday's practice like he did Wednesday, but whatever he did behind the scenes was enough for him to garner a "limited" tag for the second straight day. Though Wilson is expected to practice throughout the week, head coach Robert Saleh suggested the rookie won't be active even as an emergency backup Sunday against the Bills, as the Jets aren't eager to make him available until he's…read more

Won't start this week
Wilson (knee) practiced Wednesday in a limited capacity, but Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that Mike White will start at quarterback Sunday against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, is clearly viewed as the team's long-term answer behind center, but the Jets plan to take a cautious approach with ushering him back into the lineup while he contends with a sprained PCL in his right knee. Though Wilson will practice this week, the Jets aren't expected to keep him active this weekend, as Saleh noted that Joe Flacco will back up White.

Appears unlikely to play Week 10
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson (knee) likely will resume practicing this week, but he cautioned the rookie signal-caller won't be rushed back into action, suggesting Wilson is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bills, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: More specifically, Saleh said it would be "irresponsible" to push Wilson to play just over two weeks removed from suffering a PCL sprain of his right knee, an injury that requires around four weeks to make a full recovery. Though Saleh said he's hopeful Wilson is able to advance to full participation in practice at some point this week, the 22-year-old presumably will need an additional slate of practices next week before he's considered 100 percent. With that in mind, Mike White appears in…read more

Should practice this week
Wilson (knee) is expected to resume practicing this week, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.
Analysis: The Jets avoided placing Wilson on IR in hopes that he would resume practicing after a two-week absence, and it appears that will be the case. With fellow quarterback Mike White (forearm) -- who impressed in Wilson's absence before getting hurt himself -- also expected to practice before the Jets' Week 10 matchup with the Bills, coach Robert Saleh will have to figure out how to divvy up first-team reps between the two recovering quarterbacks.

Should practice Week 10
Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Monday that the Jets aren't considering placing Wilson (knee) on injured reserve because the quarterback is expected to ready to resume practicing at some point ahead of Week 10, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Wilson will miss his second straight game Thursday against the Colts while he continues to recover from the PCL sprain of his right knee suffered Oct. 24, and he may face an uphill battle to gain clearance for a Week 10 matchup with the Bills on Nov. 14. That being said, because the Jets believe Wilson will be able to practice less than three weeks after suffering the injury, the team is resisting putting him on IR. In the meantime, the Jets once again will turn to Mike White to direct their…read more

Possibly available for Week 10
Wilson (knee) will not be placed on injured reserve and could even have a chance at playing Week 10 against the Bills, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This is a somewhat surprising development considering Wilson was expected to miss at minimum 2-to-4 weeks after injuring his knee, putting him on the early side of that timeline if Saturday's news is accurate. The acquisition of Joe Flacco complicates things somewhat given the Jets seemingly have no reason to rush back the coveted 2021 No. 2 overall pick with the established veteran at the helm. That being said, a lost season such as this one could be a perfect situation for Wilson to get reps…read more

Flacco to fill in
With Wilson slated to miss 2-to-4 weeks with a PCL injury, per coach Robert Saleh, the Jets have made a trade to acquire Joe Flacco from the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With the Jets 1-5, there's little incentive for the team to rush the No. 2 overall pick in the draft back to action. By acquiring an experienced signal-caller in Flacco, the Jets can proceed deliberately with Wilson. Though it's still possible that the rookie could be back as soon as Week 10 against the Bills, that's a best-case scenario, and if there's any doubt about the soundness of Wilson's knee at that time, expect the Jets to err on the side of caution.

Sprained PCL confirmed
Wilson (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Jets have yet to officially confirm the severity of Wilson's injury, but it appears that the rookie signal-caller is set to miss at least two games due to a right knee injury suffered during Sunday's loss to the Patriots. That would make Nov. 14 against the Bills the earliest possible date for Wilson to retake the field, though Week 11 against the Dolphins or Week 12 versus the Texans could be more realistic targets. In the meantime, Mike White will be in line to hold down the fort under…read more

Likely facing multi-week absence
Wilson has at least a Grade 2 PCL sprain in his knee, which suggests he's looking at a recovery timetable of 2-4 weeks at a minimum, David J. Chao of Pro Football Doc reports.
Analysis: A Grade 2 sprain wouldn't end Wilson's season, but an IR stint of three-plus weeks will be on the table for the rookie second-overall pick, who was injured when he went down awkwardly on a sack by New England's Matthew Judon on Sunday. If Wilson has a more significant Grade 3 sprain, his absence would be even more extensive. Mike White took over for Wilson against the Patriots and will presumably continue to start for the duration of Wilson's absence. More clarity on the severity on Wilson's…read more

Injures right knee in Week 7
Wilson noted after Sunday's loss to the Patriots that his right knee injury is believed to be a PCL issue, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The report adds that Wilson was walking gingerly as he entered and left the Jets' interview room Sunday, while the QB relayed that he felt a "pop" in his knee after New England's Matthew Judon landed on him. Additionally, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports that Wilson describes his knee as feeling "off" and "loose." We'll await the result of the MRI the rookie signal-caller is slated to undergo Monday, but at this stage it seems as though Wilson will miss some time. If so, Mike White would…read more

Analysis: According to coach Robert Saleh, there's some initial optimism with regard to Wilson's status, though he added, "You never know." Look for an update at some point Monday, at which time there should be some added clarity with regard to the rookie QB's prospects of playing next Sunday against the Bengals. Per Brian Costello of the New York Post, it's believed that Wilson -- who was replaced by Mike White on Sunday -- may be dealing with a PCL injury.

Takes step back
Wilson completed 19 of 32 passes for 192 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Wilson suffered through a horrific first half in which he mustered only 42 passing yards and threw an interception. He improved in the second half, leading the Jets' offense to two touchdowns and a field goal. However, the drives were capped by a running back on each occasion, which left Wilson without a touchdown for the third time in five games this season. The Jets will head into their bye in Week 6 and will return to action in Week 7 against New England.

Heats up late to get first win
Wilson completed 21 of 34 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans. He also had minus-2 yards on three rushing attempts.
Analysis: Wilson threw the eighth interception of his young career on the Jets' third possession after a pair of punts, but he bounced back to lead New York's third touchdown drive of the season -- capped off by a two-yard Michael Carter touchdown -- on the next possession. He set up a go-ahead field goal late in the third quarter with a 54-yard deep ball to Keelan Cole, then tossed touchdowns to Jamison Crowder (three yards) and Corey Davis (53 yards) in the fourth.

Wilson completed 19 of his 35 pass attempts for 160 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Wilson was rarely able to maintain significant offensive drives, and the Broncos had 11 minutes more of possession as a result. His continued problem with turnovers is concerning, though it is worth noting that Wilson's second interception came with under a minute left in the game while the Jets were pushing down the field in an attempt to avoid a shutout. Even so, Wilson has looked far from prepared for the highest level of competition by throwing seven picks as compared to just two touchdowns…read more

Four picks against Pats
Wilson completed 19 of 33 passes for 210 yards and four interceptions in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots. He also rushed three times for 19 yards.
Analysis: Wilson got off to a painfully slow start for the second consecutive game, throwing interceptions on each of his first two passes and four of his first 10. He settled down after that but still failed to lead the Jets' offense into the end zone. With 20 points through two games, the start of the Wilson era isn't looking much different from the end of Sam Darnold's stint with Gang Green.

Tale of two halves in debut
Wilson completed 20 of 37 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 19-14 loss to Carolina. He didn't register a rushing attempt but ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Wilson struggled mightily in the first half, completing only six of 16 passes for 84 yards and an interception en route to a 16-0 deficit. He settled down after halftime and finished with a respectable stat line, even though New York's comeback attempt ultimately came up short. Wilson's first two career touchdown passes both went to Corey Davis, covering 22 and eight yards, respectively.

Wilson didn't play in Friday's preseason tie against the Eagles.
Analysis: The decision to hold out the 2021 second overall pick comes as no surprise after bad weather delayed the start of the game by about half an hour and left poor field conditions behind. Wilson seemingly had little left to prove in exhibition play after a couple dazzling performances already -- per Next Gen Stats, he was a perfect 5-for-5 for 94 yards and a touchdown on throws of 10-plus air yards in preseason action.

Wilson didn't take part in pregame warmups prior to Friday's preseason contest against the Eagles, indicating he won't play, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The field conditions at MetLife Stadium aren't great following a downpour Friday afternoon, so coach Robert Saleh may be exercising caution with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Wilson is the undoubted starter come the regular season, though it's understandable that the team wants him to get more game action under his belt.

Sharp at Lambeau on Saturday
Wilson completed nine of 11 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: The second overall pick in the 2021 draft looked more like a seasoned veteran while leading the Jets' first-team offense, picking apart the Packers' secondary and finding tight end Tyler Kroft for both of his scores. The young quarterback's primary target was Corey Davis though, and the former Titan hauled in four catches for 70 yards from Wilson before the first quarter was over.

Analysis: Wilson's first career possession at the NFL level ended with a field goal, and all four of his throws on the drive went to Corey Davis, who caught two of those for 18 yards. He also led the offense into Giants territory on his second and final drive, which ended with Ty Johnson getting stuffed on 4th-and-1.

Analysis: While Wilson failed to lead the offense into the end zone and was nearly picked off a third time, backups Mike White and James Morgan combined to throw three touchdowns. Reports about Wilson's play have been positive up to this point, so chalk this effort up to some rookie nerves as the second overall pick finally met Gang Green Nation.

It was inevitable that the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft would sign on the dotted line, but the two sides needed to compromise on a couple of items. Per Schefter, Wilson "gets no deferral" while the Jets "get offset language." Either way, the BYU product now can officially embark on his pro career and will look to build chemistry with a…read more

Wilson has impressed New York's coaching staff with his work ethic and quick learning ability in camp, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports. "We've thrown a lot at (WIlson)," offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said. "I thought these last two weeks have been awesome for him...it's cool because he recognizes all that, he learns, and he's eager."
Analysis: Wilson's tremendous arm strength and accuracy led the Jets to select him second overall in the 2021 draft, and early reports from camp suggests he has the mental makeup to get the most out of his physical gifts. With a creative offensive mind in LaFleur guiding him, Wilson should help restore some excitement to a Jets aerial attack that has failed to leave the hangar over the past couple seasons.
