Wilson sustained a concussion during Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

When Wilson was initially ruled out from the contest and replaced by Trevor Siemian, the Jets cited a head injury as the cause for the QB's early exit. However, it has now been confirmed that Wilson suffered a concussion, which means that he'll have to progress through the NFL's five-step protocol in order to gain clearance to play ahead of next Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Wilson exited late in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a head injury and won't return to the contest, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After taking home AFC Player of the Week honors in last Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans, Wilson got off to a dismal start against Miami. He took four sacks and completed just four of 11 attempts for 26 yards and lost a fumble before heading to the locker room during the Jets' final possession of the first half. According to Jeff Darlington of ESPN, Wilson is not in concussion protocol, and CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson relayed during the television broadcast that the quarterback's early exit was a result of him experiencing dehydration. Trevor Siemian led a scoreless drive to a close out the second quarter and was back on the field to begin the third quarter, so he looks poised to finish the game with Wilson sidelined. The Jets' plans at quarterback are unclear heading into Week 16, as Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) could attain medical clearance to return to action for the team's Dec. 24 game against the Commanders. However, since the Jets faced a 24-0 halftime deficit against Miami and will most likely drop to 5-9 on the season, New York may not activate Rodgers next week and could instead continue moving forward with either Wilson or Siemian at quarterback now that a postseason berth looks to be out of reach.

Wilson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, head coach Robert Saleh relayed Monday that Wilson was dealing with a minor knee issue, but the Jets never had much concern that the injury would affect his status for a Week 15 matchup with the Dolphins. After a two-game benching, Wilson stepped back into the starting role this past weekend against the Texans and turned in one of the best performances of his career. He completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 301 yards and two touchdowns and carried three times for 12 yards in the Jets' 30-6 win en route to taking home AFC Player of the Week honors.

Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Wilson is dealing with a knee injury coming out of the 30-6 win over the Texans, but Saleh doesn't anticipate that the injury will impact Wilson's availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saleh didn't sound overly concerned about Wilson's knee, but the starting quarterback's practice participation will still be worth monitoring as the Jets prepare to face their AFC East rivals. Wilson's coming off his best performance of the season, as he reached the 300-yard threshold for the first time in 2023 while throwing two touchdowns without an interception.

Wilson completed 27 of 36 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans. He added three rushing attempts for 12 yards and lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since Week 11, Wilson posted his first 300-yard performance of the season and third of his career. Neither team scored until Wilson connected with Randall Cobb for a 15-yard touchdown on the first possession of the third quarter. That drive started a stretch of three touchdowns in four drives for the Jets. Wilson lost a fumble on the lone non-scoring possession over that span but bounced back with a three-yard touchdown pass to Breece Hall. Unless Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is declared ready to play in Week 15 against the Dolphins, Wilson has earned himself another start after leading the offense to 30 second-half points to snap the Jets' five-game losing streak.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday that Wilson will start Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Saleh added that he hopes Wilson will remain the Jets' starting signal-caller for the remainder of the regular season, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The comment is an implicit acknowledgement that Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) won't return this season, which was all but guaranteed after the Jets dropped to 4-8 with a loss to the Falcons this past Sunday. The Jets then waived Tim Boyle -- who had started the past two games -- on Tuesday and replaced him with Brett Rypien. In addition to Wilson and the injured Rodgers, Rypien joins Trevor Siemian in the Jets' quarterback room.

Coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Wilson will be inactive but serve as the Jets' emergency third quarterback Friday against the Dolphins, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tim Boyle takes over No. 1 duties and Trevor Siemian will be the backup signal-caller in Wilson's place. If the second overall pick in the 2021 Draft doesn't see the field again this season, he'll finish it with 1,944 yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions on 59 percent passing, plus 33 carries for 199 rushing yards, while getting sacked 38 times and committing nine fumbles (five lost).

Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Wilson will be active as the Jets' No. 3 quarterback for Friday's game against the Dolphins, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Multiple reports surfaced earlier Monday indicating that Tim Boyle would supplant Wilson as the team's starting quarterback, but Wilson's drop to third on the depth chart wasn't made official until Saleh spoke to the media. The Jets will either elevate Trevor Siemian from the practice squad or sign him to the 53-man roster, and he'll suit up as the top backup while Boyle takes over as the starter. According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, Saleh noted that no thought was given to cutting Wilson after the third-year signal-caller was benched midway through Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills, and his future with the organization will be dealt with in the offseason. Since being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the 24-year-old Wilson has completed 56.6 percent of his passes for 6.3 yards per attempt and a 21:25 TD:INT over 32 games (31 starts).

Wilson will move into a backup role for Friday's game against the Dolphins, with the Jets turning to Tim Boyle as their Week 12 starting quarterback, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

The writing appeared to be on the wall for Wilson's removal from the starting role, as he was benched during Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills before head coach Robert Saleh said after the game that he was undecided on a Week 12 starter. Since taking over for the injured Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) early in the first quarter of a Week 1 win over the Bills, Wilson completed just 59.2 percent of his passes for 6.1 yards per attempt, six touchdowns and seven interceptions, and he also lost five fumbles. Boyle doesn't have a previous track record of success at the NFL level and presumably will be on a short leash, but even if Boyle ends up being pulled from the starting job at some point, the Jets still could look to turn to a free agent or a member of another team's practice squad rather than giving Wilson another look.

Coach Robert Saleh said after Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills that he's undecided on whether Wilson will start in Week 12 against the Dolphins on Friday. Wilson was benched in the second half Sunday after completing seven of 15 passes for 81 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed four times for 15 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was replaced by Tim Boyle, who wasn't any better. Boyle completed seven of 14 passes for 33 yards and one interception. The Jets have lost three consecutive games following a three-game winning streak to fall to 4-6. Boyle's poor play after replacing Wilson may have opened the door for Wilson to remain under center at home against the Dolphins on Friday, with an announcement on an official starter likely to come during the week.
