Zach Wilson's injury was non-contact. Was shaking a defender on a scramble.

Robert Saleh told reporters after the game that the Jets would know more after the results of Wilson'sMRI on Saturday. Wilson's knee is supposed to be intact, according to him.

To be clear on this, #Jets coach Robert Saleh was saying initial tests indicated Zach Wilson's ACL is intact but he won't be convinced until the MRI is done. He was basically saying from what he was told the ACL is supposedly intact, as in that's what the docs told him. https://t.co/5mZpsBWk6k

Wilson was selected second overall in the 2021.

Consistency was an issue for the quarterback as he threw 11 turnovers. His quarterback rating was the worst in the league, while his QBR was the best.

They were also worried about injuries. He missed four games due to a PCL injury.

As he tries to reach his lofty expectations, another injury that causes him to miss time could be even worse.

If Wilson isn't ready to go, Mike White would be in the mix to fill in along with Joe Flacco.
