Jets' Garrett Wilson: Coach optimistic about 2025 return
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that he thinks Wilson (knee) will play again in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson was placed on IR prior to Thursday's loss to the Patriots. He will sit out a minimum of three more games, so the earliest Wilson could return would be Week 15 against the Jaguars. It's encouraging for Wilson's fantasy managers that the Jets haven't committed to shutting their top receiver down for the season, even though the Jets are out of the playoff hunt at 2-8.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Ruled out for TNF
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at New England.
Wilson didn't practice at all this week, with reports suggesting he'll likely miss 3-to-4 games after re-injuring his knee during Sunday's win over Cleveland. Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams got the most playing time among the other Jets' WRs on Sunday, but Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could take on larger roles in the coming weeks.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks
Rotowire
Wilson is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday, and it's at least encouraging that his knee injury won't require surgery or a long-term stint on the sideline. That said, Wilson had missed the Jets' prior two games before briefly returning to action Week 10, and he now looks set to sit out until Week 14 against the Dolphins at the earliest. Assuming Wilson is indeed officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, whomever of Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor is named the starting quarterback will have to rely on receivers Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie, Allen Lazard, tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall as his top pass catchers.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Being evaluated, getting MRI
Rotowire
Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is still having his injury evaluated and will undergo an MRI, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Wilson returned to action Week 10 despite being initially listed as questionable with a knee injury that had sidelined him since Week 6. It's unclear whether his current knee issue is an aggravation or a new occurrence, but testing on the Jets' No. 1 wideout's knee should provide some clarity. Wilson did not secure any of his three targets before exiting versus Cleveland, and at this stage his status has to be considered up in the air for Thursday's divisional contest against the Patriots. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Glenn said Wilson will "hopefully" be able to play Thursday but "I don't want to stamp that just yet."

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson didn't log a catch on three targets. The wideout approached Week 10 action listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but at this stage it's unclear if if his current issue is a setback related to that, or a new injury.

Rotowire
Wilson (knee) exited Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Tracking toward playing Sunday
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Rich Cimini of ESPN.com had already reported Friday that Wilson was on track to suit up Week 10, so Schefter's report adds further credence to the belief that the wideout will return to the lineup after missing the previous two contests prior to the Jets' Week 9 bye. Wilson draws a difficult matchup against a tough Browns defense, but he has dominated the passing-game targets when available, which cements his status as a quality fantasy starter.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Questionable but expected to play
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he's expected to play, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He didn't quite work his way off the injury report completely, but the star wide receiver is poised to return for his first action since Week 6. The Jets haven't declared a starting quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, though Fields is the presumptive starter. Wilson has caught 36 of 56 targets for 395 yards and four touchdowns across six appearances this season.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Wilson hasn't played since suffering a hyperextended knee during Week 6 action, but the wideout's return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- following the Jets' bye has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Wilson now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Jets post their Week 10 injury designations Friday. Prior to his injury, the 2022 first-rounder recorded 36 catches for 395 yards and four TDs (on 56 targets) in six games, marks that still pace the Jets' pass-catching corps.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson didn't practice or play in Week 8, but he seems to be doing much better after a Week 9 bye. The Jets will face a tough Cleveland defense at the Meadowlands this Sunday, with Justin Fields likely starting at quarterback, though head coach Aaron Glenn has thus far declined to name his starter. QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is also expected to practice this week.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Ready to practice again
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson (knee) will resume practicing this week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
The hyperextended knee that Wilson sustained late in an Oct. 12 loss to the Broncos kept him from practicing ahead of each of the Jets' last two games, but the star wideout appears to be gearing up for a return to the field following his team's Week 9 bye. Before deciding on Wilson's status for Sunday's game versus the Browns, the Jets' coaching and training staffs will likely assess how the receiver's knee responds to his first practice activity in three weeks. Per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, Glenn was unwilling to name a Week 10 starting quarterback, so if Wilson is available to play Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be catching passes from incumbent Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee).

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Aaron Glenn noted Friday that Wilson (knee) will be out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
With the Jets on bye Week 9, the star wideout's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 9 versus the Browns. In Wilson's continued absence, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard are on track to lead the Jets' receiving corps versus Cincinnati, though the team's Week 8 starting QB has yet to be revealed by Glenn.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Not seen at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Wilson (knee) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson also logged a DNP on Wednesday, and though coach Aaron Glenn hasn't ruled out the wideout for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks after hyperextending his knee Week 6. While Wilson is trending in the wrong direction ahead of the weekend, fellow WR Josh Reynolds (hip) participated in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Could miss a couple of weeks
Rotowire
An MRI revealed that Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday, with the wideout reportedly expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Confirmation from the team has yet to come, but at a minimum it looks like the Jets are in line to be without their top pass catcher this weekend against the Panthers. If that's the case, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson would be candidates to see added WR reps in Wilson's absence.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Makes spectacular TD grab in loss
Rotowire
Wilson hauled in six of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-21 loss to Miami.
Wilson welcomed back QB Justin Fields (concussion) with open arms after the duo connected in the end zone for the second time this season (third overall for Wilson). The star wideout scored in spectacular fashion when he caught a high-point pass through a defender's arm while barely dragging both of his feet in bounds. He did have a second potential score erased by an offensive pass interference penalty. Wilson is now up to 311 yards and three touchdowns through four starts as the Jets continue to force feed him the ball in failed comeback attempts. Fantasy managers should treat the Ohio State product as a WR1 in another soft matchup versus the Cowboys on Sunday.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Gets into end zone in Week 3
Rotowire
Wilson caught 10 of 13 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
Despite having Tyrod Taylor under center instead of Justin Fields (concussion), Wilson was still the clear top downfield option for the Jets, as none of his teammates saw more than six targets or caught more than four passes, and his 11-yard TD catch from Taylor early in the fourth quarter kicked off an attempted comeback from a 23-6 deficit by New York. Wilson will take a 21-229-2 line on 30 targets into a Week 4 meeting with the Dolphins.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Four grabs as Fields gets concussed
Rotowire
Wilson caught four of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.
Wilson was the only player to exceed nine receiving yards for the Jets in the ugly Week 2 loss. He's the clear top target in a Jets passing attack that could be orchestrated by Tyrod Taylor in Week 3 against the Buccaneers after Justin Fields sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's defeat. Wilson had three catches for 33 yards in Taylor's two drives following Fields' injury.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Clear top receiver in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Wilson caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
Wilson put the Jets in front with a 33-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, and he came two yards from the end zone again on a 21-yard catch in the third, leading to a Justin Fields rushing score on the next play. He was the clear top option in the passing game, as Breece Hall was a distant second in both targets (four) and receiving yards (38), but Wilson will regret his inability to hold onto the ball on the Jets' final offensive play, as Jalen Ramsey dislodged the ball from his hands on fourth down, preventing what would have been a game-extending catch. With Wilson showing strong chemistry with Fields, the talented wide receiver should remain a strong fantasy option against the Bills in Week 2.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: To get fifth-year option
Rotowire
Jets GM Darren Mougey said Monday that he plans to exercise the fifth-year option on Wilson's rookie contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wilson's rookie contract will now run through 2026, with a fifth-year option for the final season projected at $16.8 million. He's likely still hoping for an extension this offseason after starting his career with three straight 1,000-yard campaigns as a high-volume target in bad offenses. The Jets figure to run the ball more now that they have dual-threat Justin Fields at quarterback, but Wilson should see a lot of targets anyway, as there isn't much competition for Fields' attention after the offense lost WR Davante Adams and TE Tyler Conklin this offseason.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Quietly posts career year
Rotowire
Wilson caught four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the 2024 season with 101 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 154 targets.
Wilson didn't account for any of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes, but the third of their four connections accounted for Wilson's 100th catch of the season. In addition to setting a new career high in receptions, Wilson exceeded his previous career high by one receiving yard. Wilson's seven receiving scores matched his combined total from 2022 and 2023, so Wilson made incremental improvements despite the Jets' inconsistency on offense. The 2022 first-round draft pick remains under contract with the Jets for 2025.
