Wilson didn't take part in pregame warmups prior to Friday's preseason contest against the Eagles, indicating he won't play, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The field conditions at MetLife Stadium aren't great following a downpour Friday afternoon, so coach Robert Saleh may be exercising caution with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Wilson thus will conclude his first exhibition season 15-for-20 passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns in two contests.

Wilson is expected to play in the Jets' preseason finale Friday against the Eagles, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Robert Saleh wouldn't commit to how much Wilson may play, but did say he was leaning towards his rookie quarterback seeing some action. Wilson is the undoubted starter come the regular season, though it's understandable that the team wants him to get more game action under his belt. Between the first two preseason contests, Wilson has completed 15 of his 20 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

Wilson completed nine of 11 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

The second overall pick in the 2021 looked more like a seasoned veteran while leading the Jets' first-team offense, picking apart the Packers' secondary and finding tight end Tyler Kroft for both his scores. The young quarterback's primary target was Corey Davis though, and the former Titan hauled in four catches for 70 yards from Wilson before the first quarter was over. It was a very impressive showing for the new face of the franchise, and while he's been getting short shrift at the draft table compared to other rookie QBs like Justin Fields and Trey Lance, Wilson could see a spike in his ADP based on this performance.

Coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Wilson should see 3-4 series of action in Week 2 of preseason against the Packers on Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson played the first two series of the preseason opener against the Giants and will ramp up his workload by a series or two in Green Bay. The rookie second overall pick is also expected to see playing time in the third preseason game, as Saleh says he's planning to give his starters playing time in that one as well.

Wilson completed six of nine passes for 63 yards in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson's first career possession at the NFL level ended with a field goal, and all four of his throws on the drive went to Corey Davis, who caught two of those for 18 yards. He also led the offense into Giants territory on his second and final drive, which ended with Ty Johnson getting stuffed on 4th-and-1. The rookie second overall pick's debut performance is cause for cautious optimism, especially since camp standout Elijah Moore (quadriceps) was missing from Wilson's receiving corps. Wilson will look to pick up his first NFL touchdown against the Packers in Week 2 of the preseason.

Wilson will play two series during Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will make his preseason debut Saturday, but with Giants coach Joe Judge having said that he will handle the first preseason game the way teams used to handle the last one, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Wilson may be facing backups in the opposing defense. Reports surrounding the rookie No. 2 overall pick's performance in camp have been mostly positive to date, though he did struggle in front of fans last Sunday, throwing two interceptions without a touchdown.

Wilson struggled in the Jets' first practice at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, throwing two interceptions without a touchdown, Steve Serby of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Wilson failed to lead the offense into the end zone and was nearly picked off a third time, backups Mike White and James Morgan combined to throw three touchdowns. Reports about his play have been positive up to this point, so chalk this effort up to some rookie nerves as the second overall pick finally met Gang Green nation. Wilson remains the favorite to open the season as New York's starter under center.

Wilson has agreed to a four-year deal with the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report notes that the QB's contract is projected to be worth $35.1 million and includes a signing bonus of approximately $22.9 million. It was inevitable that the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft would sign on the dotted line, but the two sides needed to compromise on a couple of items. Per Schefter, Wilson "gets no deferral" while the Jets "get offset language." Either way, the BYU product now can officially embark on his pro career and will look to build chemistry with a pass-catching corps that currently features wide receivers Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and Denzel Mims, as well as tight ends Tyler Kroft and Chris Herndon.

Wilson has impressed New York's coaching staff with his work ethic and quick learning ability in camp, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports. "We've thrown a lot at (WIlson)," offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said. "I thought these last two weeks have been awesome for him...it's cool because he recognizes all that, he learns, and he's eager."

EDGE Analysis

Wilson's tremendous arm strength and accuracy led the Jets to select him second overall in the 2021 draft, and early reports from camp suggests he has the mental makeup to get the most out of his physical gifts. With a creative offensive mind in LaFleur guiding him, Wilson should help restore some excitement to a Jets aerial attack that has failed to leave the hangar over the past couple seasons.

The Jets selected Wilson in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, second overall.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson (6-foot-2, 214) was a standout three-year starter at BYU, where he showed dual-threat ability and intriguing arm talent that eventually made him the sole draft target of new head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets were locked onto Wilson all offseason, and this pick was one of the few that were all but settled going into the draft. Wilson's dual-threat abilities should prove interesting in an offensive scheme that means to emulate the structure built by Kyle Shanahan, who offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur served under with the 49ers previously. Wilson completed 73.5 percent of his pass attempts in his dominant 2020 season, averaging 11.0 yards per attempt while producing 3,692 yards with 33 touchdowns versus three interceptions. With the Jets he has a few interesting targets already lined up, especially Corey Davis and Denzel Mims on the outside.
