Zach Wilson will not be starting at quarterback for the New York Jets until Week 4. The jets’ head coach Robert Saleh confirmed the news on Wednesday. The Jets will start Joe Flacco at quarterback against the Baltimore Ravens.

On August 14th, the young quarterback from Utah underwent arthroscopic surgery as a result of this accident. He was scheduled to return within 2 to 4 weeks of the surgery.

However, head coach Saleh does not believe in rushing the quarterback and prefers to wait until Week 4 for his full recovery. On Monday, Saleh said, “Everyone heals differently“.
