Team news: New York Jets | Page 2

Bad news for the Jets offense: WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks with a knee sprain, source says.

The Jets were hopeful Wilson could play this week, a Thursday night game, but that won't be the case. As the post added, the good news is no surgery is needed, just rehab. Wilson's injury could bring him back for the fantasy playoffs, but he'll be tough to trust if Justin Fields is still under center. A lot could happen at QB for the Jets between now and Wilson's potential return.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has avoided naming a starting quarterback ahead of the team’s last two games and he plans to make it three in a row this week.

Glenn ended his opening statement at Monday’s press conference by letting reporters know that they shouldn’t bother with questions about whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor will get the start against the Patriots on Thursday night.

“Please don’t ask me anything about the quarterbacks,” Glenn said. “You know I’m not going to tell you and I don’t want to waste my time when it comes to that, when it comes to who’s starting.”

Fields has started each of the last two Jets games, both of which were wins. But, Fields was only 6-of-11 for 54 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns with 42 of the yards coming on a dump-off that running back Breece Hall broke for a touchdown, the story pointed out. The Jets were also helped by two special team touchdowns. The Jets play on Thursday night against the Patriots so the question will have to be answered a little sooner this week.

Coach Glenn said WR Garrett Wilson will undergo further evaluation on his knee injury.

Wilson left the game early with the knee injury without recording a catch. Even if Wilson can play in Week 11, it's going to be tough to trust him in fantasy lineups when you factor in the injury and the play of QB Justin Fields. We'll likely know more as the week goes on, but Wilson owners will probably want to make other plans for his lineup spot, especially since the Jets play the Patriots on Thursday night this week.

Injury was added to insult for Geno Smith in the Raiders' Thursday night loss to the Broncos.

On a night in which nothing went right for Smith and the beleaguered Las Vegas offense, the quarterback suffered a quad contusion on the opening play of the fourth quarter during the team's 10-7 loss to Denver, although head coach Pete Carroll expressed postgame it shouldn't be a long-term issue.

This will presumably be labeled "day-to-day" for now, with Pickett the most likely starter should Smith be sidelined. Next up is the Cowboys defense, so whoever mans center will actually have some fantasy appeal.

There aren't many Jets options we should be able to trust in Week 10 —or beyond— but Wilson is certainly one of them if he suits up. It's a tough matchup, but he can still be considered in the WR3 range.

Garrett Wilson (knee) was limited in practice today. Tyrod Taylor (knee) was a full participant.

We should get used to the remaining Jets players taking quite a few days off while they go down with the sinking ship, so we'll hold off making sweeping fantasy judgements until/unless Wilson misses some more practice time.

Aaron Glenn has yet to make a Week 10 QB decision, but Taylor being a full participant means Justin Fields isn't in the clear.

According to multiple reports, Adonai Mitchell is being traded to New York to complete the Sauce Gardner deal.

That means in all, the Jets will receive Indianapolis’ first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 plus Mitchell, in exchange for Gardner.

Mitchell was buried in the Colts depth chart and a move to the Jets could get him as high as the team's WR2 spot fairly quickly. As the story said, after making 23 receptions for 312 yards as a rookie last year, he looked like he was having a breakout game in Week 4 against the Rams. But Mitchell infamously dropped the ball just before reaching the end zone for a touchdown, with the ball going out of the end zone for a touchback. The story added, since then, Mitchell had played only single-digit snaps in four games, making a total of two receptions for a total of 15 yards. While the Jets QB situation isn't the best, Mitchell should have a chance to succeed in an offense that is very needy for weapons at the WR spot.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn remains mum on who will be his starting QB Sunday vs. the Browns. He did tell reporters that Tyrod Taylor (knee) will be practicing this week.

When we last saw the Jets in Week 8, Fields threw for 244 yards and a TD as the Jets picked up their first win over the season over the Bengals. Fields did his damage without Garrett Wilson in the lineup as well, but Wilson is expected to practice this week as the Jets prep for the Browns in Week 10. It would be hard for the team not to go back to Fields, who is probably coming off his best game of his Jets career. However, the Jets looked ready to turn things over to Taylor before a knee injury kept him out of Week 8.

Aaron Glenn tells reporters that WR Garrett Wilson will return to the practice field this week

Great news for the Jets and their passing game. Don't forget, when we last saw the Jets in Week 8 - and it was against the Bengals - Justin Fields threw for 244 yards and a touchdown as the Jets picked up their first win of the season, all without Wilson in the lineup. The Jets host the Browns in Week 10 coming off a bye and have a chance at another win, and Wilson's return should draw him a lot of targets from whoever is the QB.

HC Kevin Stefanski said, “my focus is where we are right now, that’s not my focus,” when asked about starting QB Shedeur Sanders.

This is typically a time when a team will make a QB change - as the Browns are heading into their bye week. But there doesn't seem to be much consideration to make a switch at the position, at least based on this three-second clip on X. Gabriel has struggled during his time at QB since the team moved away from Joe Flacco. The Browns are 2-6 and don't seem to have much of a shot at a playoff berth through eight games. A move to Sanders would at least give the fan base a jolt, but it doesn't seem to be a change that will be made for Week 10.
