- Garrett Wilson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, entered the concussion protocol after coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday.
- Wilson leads the Jets this season with 63 targets, 43 catches, 527 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.
- Wilson’s four-year, $130 million contract extension begins next season.
- Wilson appeared to yell at quarterback Geno Smith and passing game coordinator Seth Ryan after the Week 7 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins, CBS cameras showed.
- Wilson said he did not think he was talking to Smith, insisting both were heated but not at each other because they were disappointed and wanted a more aggressive offense.
- New York Jets are 2-6 and rebuilding, yet the idea of parting with 26-year-old Wilson sounds “inconceivable” as the Nov. 10 deadline looms.
- Wilson said he wants to “make an impact” and “get it in our hands” so the Jets can try to win games.
Why it matters: For New York, Wilson leads the club with 527 receiving yards, yet parting with the 26-year-old is described as “inconceivable” despite the Nov. 10 deadline. His $130 million extension beginning next season makes the trade window a concrete test of whether the 2-6 rebuild retains its leading receiver.
