Coach Aaron Glenn’s tenure in New York is off to one of the worst starts in Jets history.
New York enters Week 8 as the lone 0-7 team in the NFL. It’s just the third time the franchise has lost seven consecutive games to open the season. The 1996 Jets started 0-8 and the 2020 squad lost 13 straight before breaking through in the win column in December.
The Jets have the worst-ranked passing offense in the league and were without their top wide receiver last week in a loss to Carolina.
Garrett Wilson missed the game due to a knee injury. New York’s offense could have a better shot this week against Cincinnati and the Bengals’ 30th-ranked pass defense than many other teams on their schedule.
But will Wilson be in the lineup? Here’s what we know about his status for Sunday’s game.
Garrett Wilson injury update
‘For the guys who are out, we have Kene [Nwangwu], we have Sauce [Gardner], we have Jay Tufele, Cam Jones, Stone Smartt and Garrett Wilson will be out,’ Glenn said.
This marks the second week in a row that the Jets will be without Wilson. The fourth-year wideout hadn’t missed a game in each of his first three seasons in the NFL after the Jets selected him 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
New York faces Cincinnati on the road before their Week 9 bye. That will give Wilson more time to recover ahead of New York’s Week 10 game against Cleveland.
