New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson suffered a knee injury during last Sunday morning’s game against the Denver Broncos in London. While it was reported by ESPN’s Rich Cimini that he avoided a serious ailment, he’s still slated to miss a bit of time.
According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Jets will have to try and find a way to get their first win of the season this weekend without their star wide receiver. He revealed that Wilson will miss Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers , but he could return the following weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals .
“Jets star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) won’t practice today and won’t play Sunday vs. the Panthers, sources tell CBS Sports,” Zenitz posted on X. “There’s some hope though that he could maybe be back as soon as next week’s game vs. the Bengals, per sources.
No matter what, it’s a huge blow for the Jets. Last weekend, Wilson was stymied, receiving eight targets against Denver, resulting in just three catches for 13 yards. It was the fourth-lowest receiving total of his career for a single game.
Additionally, it was far and away the worst game of the 2025 season for him, as he’s previously reached at least 50 yards in the five games preceding, and scored a touchdown in the previous three. This will also be the first time Wilson has ever missed a stretch of games, as he’s played in all 51 during his first three seasons in the NFL.
