New York Jets Place WR Garrett Wilson on Injured Reserve Due to Knee Injury
New York City, NY – The New York Jets have placed wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured reserve following a knee sprain sustained during their Week 10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. This move sidelines Wilson for at least the next four games, including the upcoming Thursday night matchup against the New England Patriots.
Details of the Injury
Wilson aggravated a knee injury that had previously caused him to miss Weeks 7 and 8. In the Week 10 game, he exited in the second half after attempting a diving catch and did not return. The team has not specified the exact nature of the injury but has confirmed that Wilson will not require surgery. He is expected to miss at least four games, with a potential return in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Impact on the Jets’ Offense
Wilson has been a key contributor to the Jets’ passing offense, leading the team with 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns this season. His absence places additional pressure on the receiving corps, which now looks to players like Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and recently acquired Adonai Mitchell to step up in his place. The Jets’ passing attack has struggled this season, ranking last in the NFL with 143.8 yards per game, making Wilson’s absence particularly challenging.

- Week 13: Sunday, December 7, 2025 – vs. Atlanta Falcons
