Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will soon have knee surgery in Los Angeles.

The status of Wilson’s knee injury is not yet known, but head coach Robert Saleh said the team is optimistic that it will not be a season-ending injury.

“He’s on his way to L.A. to have his procedure and then we wait,” Saleh said. “They’ll know more when they get in there. We’re optimistic but he’s not out of the woods until they get in there and make the decision.”

While Wilson is out, Joe Flacco is the Jets’ starting quarterback, Mike White is the backup and Chris Streveler is next on the depth chart.

  1. The Jets, Browns, Lions and Jaguars……giving the NFL and NFL fans cruddy football for over 30 years!!!

  2. Don’t like seeing young QBs injured no matter who they play for. Best wishes to the kid for a quick recovery

  3. He bulked up to emulate Josh Allen adding 22 pounds..probably should have worked on the legs a little more!

  4. I hope he can recover very quickly. Seemed like a normal football play with zero contact.

  5. Snakebite franchise. This kid isn’t the one. They’ll have a top 3 pick in 2023, so all good.

  6. Not a Jets fan – but do pull for Saleh – wishing this youngster all the best. LA for the surgery – what are they saying about the Med pros in the greater New York area???

    Mike White is better QB than Flacco,higher upside, better mobility.
    ——————————————————————————
    Higher upside than Flacco? I guess if you want a lower completion rate and lower TD vs INT. Same team and Flacco did better. Imagine.

  8. Wilson threw more passes for every run he made than Mac. So yeah, Mr. Tuck and Run? Whatever.

  9. Hate to see Wilson get hurt like this; but does it get any more Jets than this? Man, it’s like a curse or something!

  10. You go where your surgeon is.
    If the orthopedic specialist that Wilson knows, and feels the most comfortable with was based in Alaska, that’s where he would be off to.

  11. I hope they don’t trade for Jimmy. Another Qb who tried to do too much when running instead of going out of bounds.

  12. I see possibilities here. Zach is having his surgery in LA? How bout he has it done on the show Botched, and he can bring that friend of his moms along and drop her off so she can join the cast of Resl wives of Beverly Hills. I see possibilities.

  13. Mike White is better QB than Flacco,higher upside, better mobility.

    As a bills fan. I want white to play too

  14. Joe Flacco starting against the Ravens in season opener. You can’t make this stuff up.

  15. “… he’s not out of the woods until they get in there and make the decision.”

    Huh? I’m sorry, what “decision”, coach? I thought he was getting his meniscus trimmed.

  16. Unfortunate injury . Would love to see the young qbs in this generation run out of bounds instead of getting a extra yard, especially in a useless preseason game . Hopefully a speedy recovery . This reminds me of the Garrapolo injury with a similar running play.
