Zach Wilson threw an interception, with over four minutes remaining in the first quarter. He rushed to the right on a first-and-ten from New York’s 40-yard line. Wilson fell to the ground stiffly as he attempted to make a turn towards the center of the field to rattle off a Philadelphia Eagles defensive player.

After Wilson went down, a team member initially hoisted him up. He walked with a slight limp. They then took Wilson to the locker room for more assessment. After that, the New York Jets officially listed him as ‘questionable to return’ owing to a knee injury. Wilson did not take part in the game, and Mike White took over at quarterback.

After the game, the reporters queried the status of Wilson from Hets HC Robert Saleh. As per Brian Costello, he mentions that Wilson’s ACL is ‘intact.’ The team will know more when his MRI results show up on Saturday.

The QB was still not getting off to a strong start before he sustained injuries. On the Jets’ first drive, he threw an interception on a pass aimed for Corey Davis to Eagles LB Kyzir White. Wilson finished three of his five passes for 23 yards and one interception before collapsing.

Is Zach Wilson out from the Jets’ 2022 run?

The ‘Dawg’ was looking to make a rebound from his mediocre rookie season. While his statistics were subpar, injuries became a point of concern. Wilson missed four games because of a sprained PCL sustained in a Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots. But this year’s knee injury could be another blow to the franchise.

Given that the game was the preseason opener, it wasn’t unusual for the team to keep him out for the entire game, even if he was fit to play. However, the damage is concerning. Any non-contact injury should cause the team to clutch their exhale. Any damage that requires him to miss games could be even more detrimental.
