Jets place star WR Wilson on IR with knee injury
"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New York Jets and their 32nd-ranked passing offense will be without star wide receiver Garrett Wilson for at least the next four games, as he was placed on injured reserve Thursday for the first time in his career. The Jets (2-7), winners of two straight, face the New England Patriots (8-2) on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium. Wilson injured his right knee on Sunday -- the same knee he hurt in Week 6, which caused him to miss the next two games."
"The decision to place him on IR comes two days after coach Aaron Glenn sparred with reporters over Wilson's status. A miffed Glenn refused to divulge any injury information. Typically, he lists the injuries at the start of every news conference. This time, he said, "I'm going to pass on talking about injuries." He then referenced an ESPN story that addressed Wilson's injury."
The New York Jets placed wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games with a right-knee injury. The injury is to the same knee he hurt in Week 6, which previously caused him to miss two games, and he is eligible to return in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, though the team could consider shutting him down for the season. Coach Aaron Glenn refused to discuss injuries and sparred with reporters after an ESPN report that Wilson would miss three to four weeks. Wilson leads the team with 36 receptions, 395 yards and four receiving touchdowns. Fellow starter Josh Reynolds is also on injured reserve.
