Jets Place Garrett Wilson on Injured Reserve List
The New York Jets announced a significant setback for their wide receiver, Garrett Wilson. Due to a knee injury suffered during a recent game, Wilson has been placed on the injured reserve list.
Garrett Wilson’s Injury Details
Wilson’s knee injury is serious enough to require at least four weeks off, following NFL regulations regarding injured reserve. This marks the third injury to the same knee, as he previously missed two games before returning to play.
Impact on the Team
Selecting 10th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Wilson made an immediate impact in the league. He won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award and achieved more than 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. However, this season has brought challenges, with only 395 receiving yards thus far.
- Injury: Knee
- Games Missed: At least four due to injured reserve
- NFL Draft: 10th overall pick in 2022
- Offensive Rookie of the Year: 2022

Despite his injury, Wilson still leads the Jets in receiving yards this season. The team will now turn to other wide receivers to fill the void during his absence.
Replacement Options
The Jets will rely on several players to step up in Wilson’s place:
- Arian Smith
- John Metchie
- Tyler Johnson
- Isaiah Williams
- Allen Lazard
- Adonai Mitchell
These players will be crucial as the Jets seek to maintain their offensive productivity without their star receiver on the field.
