Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Wilson (knee) will remain on IR for the rest of the season, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Jets 3-11 and out of playoff contention, there was no need to rush Wilson -- who last played in Week 10 -- back into action. The team's star wideout thus finishes his 2025 campaign with 36 catches (on 59 targets) for 395 yards and four TDs in seven games. Per Glenn, the Jets "just wanted to be smart with (Wilson) because he's a key cog of what we're doing here." The 2022 first-rounder remains under contract with New York through the 2030 campaign, and looking ahead he'll have plenty of time to recover from his knee issue ahead of next season, and when he next takes the field his supporting cast will no doubt be different, with upgrades at QB and WR presumably offseason priorities for the Jets.

Wilson (knee) won't have his window to resume practicing opened Wednesday, and head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that a decision on Wilson's status moving forward will be made by team doctors, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been on injured reserve since aggravating a knee injury in Week 10 against the Browns. He is eligible to have his practice window opened at any point moving forward, but it's unclear when or if that will occur. Glenn's answer to the media Wednesday regarding Wilson's status didn't differ from the information Glenn offered Monday. At this point, the Jets are preparing to move forward with John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell as their top two wide receivers for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Wilson (knee) is eligible to come off IR this week, but coach Aaron Glenn noted Monday that a determination regarding the wideout's status hinges on a medical decision between Wilson and the Jets doctors, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson last saw game action in Week 10, but it remains unclear if or when he'll return to the lineup as Jets' last four games approach. With the team 3-10 and out of playoff contention, there's no reason to hurry Wilson back, and if he remains sidelined this coming Sunday against the Jaguars, John Metchie, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams would continue to lead New York's WR corps.

Head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that he thinks Wilson (knee) will play again in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was placed on IR prior to Thursday's loss to the Patriots. He will sit out a minimum of three more games, so the earliest Wilson could return would be Week 15 against the Jaguars. It's encouraging for Wilson's fantasy managers that the Jets haven't committed to shutting their top receiver down for the season, even though the Jets are out of the playoff hunt at 2-8.

Wilson (knee) has been placed on IR by the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson thus is slated to miss at least the Jets' next four games, meaning that he won't be eligible to play again before Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Jaguars. In Wilson's absence, Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie and Allen Lazard are slated to handle the team's WR duties.

Wilson (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks and could be a candidate for injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson injured his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos and aggravated the injury in the Jets' Week 10 win over the Browns. If placed on injured reserve, Wilson won't be eligible to return prior to Week 15 against the Jaguars. Even if he avoids an IR stint, Wilson could miss multiple games beyond Thursday's game against the Patriots, for which he has already been ruled out. Josh Reynolds (hip) is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 13 against the Falcons and started opposite Wilson earlier in the season. Tyler Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in both previous games that Wilson missed. Trade acquisitions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could both see their roles expand as they learn the playbook, and rookie fourth-round pick Arian Smith could see additional involvement in a Jets receiving corps that will be scrambling for production in Wilson's absence.

Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at New England.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson didn't practice at all this week, with reports suggesting he'll likely miss 3-to-4 games after re-injuring his knee during Sunday's win over Cleveland. Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams got the most playing time among the other Jets' WRs on Sunday, but Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could take on larger roles in the coming weeks.

Wilson is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during Sunday's win over the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday, and it's at least encouraging that his knee injury won't require surgery or a long-term stint on the sideline. That said, Wilson had missed the Jets' prior two games before briefly returning to action Week 10, and he now looks set to sit out until Week 14 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 7 at the earliest. Assuming Wilson is indeed officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, whomever of Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor is named the starting quarterback will have to rely on Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie, Allen Lazard and TE Mason Taylor as the top pass catchers.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is still having his injury evaluated and will undergo an MRI, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson returned to action Week 10 despite being initially listed as questionable with a knee injury that had sidelined him since Week 6. It's unclear whether his current knee issue is an aggravation or a new occurrence, but testing on the Jets' No. 1 wideout's knee should provide some clarity. Wilson did not secure any of his three targets before exiting versus Cleveland, and at this stage his status has to be considered up in the air for Thursday's divisional contest against the Patriots. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Glenn said Wilson will "hopefully" be able to play Thursday but "I don't want to stamp that just yet."

Wilson (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson didn't log a catch on three targets. The wideout approached Week 10 action listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but at this stage it's unclear if if his current issue is a setback related to that, or a new injury.
