Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday.
The head coach said that Mike White wouldn't be available for the game.
White suffered a rib injury in the Bills game and won't be cleared to play.
Wilson was going to be moving up the depth chart. Joe Flacco was White's backup for the last three games.
Wilson was benched after a poor outing against the Pats. He went 9-of-22 for 77 yards.
Wilson's demeanor rubbed some of his teammates the wrong way because he was walking around the locker room "like he isn't the problem," according to SNY.
