Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is set to make his season debut on Sunday against the Steelers, coach Robert Saleh said on Wednesday.
Saleh said Wilson’s knee is “100%” and barring any setbacks during the week of practice, he will be the starting quarterback on Sunday. The coach also downplayed this one change to the lineup, emphasizing the entire team needs to execute to be successful.
“It’s really just exciting for him to get back on the football field. It’s been six weeks,” he said. “It is exciting to get him back out there, but at the same time, it’s not all about Zach, it’s making sure that we’re executing on all cylinders like we should every week.”
