NEW YORK — Zach Wilson’s season is not over. There is even hope that the Jets quarterback could be back on the field for the regular-season opener in four weeks.
The Jets received some good news on Wilson’s right knee injury on Saturday. According to a league source, MRI results revealed that Wilson suffered a bone bruise and a tear in his meniscus in Friday’s preseason game in Philadelphia. The initial prognosis is that Wilson will be sidelined for only two to four weeks.
Wilson will get a second opinion before getting arthroscopic surgery to address the meniscus. It’s not expected that he will need a full meniscus repair. However, more will be known about the extent of the injury when the doctors scope the knee.
