Jets WR Garrett Wilson is in concussion protocol, HC Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday. It's unclear exactly when Wilson was diagnosed with the head injury, but it was sometime after this past weekend's loss to the Raiders. That leaves him unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. Wilson's absence would leave behind 26.4% of Jets targets, opening up a lot of opportunity for WRs Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell, as well as New York's TEs and RBs.

The Jets placed WR Omar Cooper on IR with his ankle injury. The rookie is out for the next 4 games and can be dropped from redraft rosters without an IR spot. Isaiah Williams projects to take over Cooper's slot role but won't garner many targets. That'll leave extra volume for WR Garrett Wilson, WR Adonai Mitchell, and perhaps TE Kenyon Sadiq.

The Jets opened OTAs with both Garrett Wilson and Braelon Allen participating, and both will remain full participants moving forward. Wilson was a full participant after missing 10 games last season with a persistent knee injury. Allen had knee surgery after spraining his left MCL in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season.

The Jets placed WR Garrett Wilson (knee) on IR ahead of Thursday night's game vs. the Patriots. Wilson was already ruled out for that one but will now miss a minimum of three more games. That makes Week 15 his earliest potential return. If Wilson makes it back then, he'd get the Jaguars, Saints, and Patriots in the final three weeks of most fantasy seasons. That's a fine trio of matchups, so Wilson could still help fantasy squads. But, considering this injury and the state of New York's passing game, we wouldn't consider him a must-hold in shallow fantasy leagues.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss "at least" 3-4 weeks with his latest knee injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson does not need surgery, but we can't imagine the 2-7 Jets rushing him back. The timeline puts Wilson out through at least Week 13. He's worth stashing in you have the bench space, but we wouldn't consider Wilson a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. The Jets are left with a wasteland of WRs Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, John Metchie, and Adonai Mitchell. Avoid the group in fantasy. TE Mason Taylor theoretically finds strong target opportunity, but he'll remain tough to trust as long as Justin Fields is under center.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Browns with a knee injury. This is presumably an aggravation of the issue that cost him the previous two games. Wilson was catch-less on three targets before exiting.

Update: Wilson has been ruled out.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson suffered a hip injury in Sunday's morning's loss to the Broncos, HC Aaron Glenn said afterward. Wilson was able to play through the issue but looked gimpy on multiple occasions. His status will be worth monitoring this coming week.

The Jets are hiring Aaron Glenn as their new HC, according to multiple reports. It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was the Jets' first-round pick back in 1994. He played eight seasons with the team, earning two Pro Bowl nods. Glenn played through the 2008 season and took his first coaching job in 2014. He was a DBs coach for the Browns and Saints before taking over as Lions DC in 2021. Detroit climbed from 31st in points allowed in Glenn's first season to seventh this past year, despite a ton of injuries. We'll see who Glenn chooses to run his offense. We've heard current Lions QBs coach Mark Brunell mentioned as a candidate. Of course, the biggest question in New York is whether QB Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2025 season. Stay tuned.
