Jets’ Zach Wilson Hid Concussion Symptoms From Doctors to Keep Playing, Mother Says

Lisa Wilson, the mother of Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, revealed on social media that he attempted to conceal his concussion symptoms Sunday before he eventually was ruled out of the team’s 30-0 loss to the Dolphins with a concussion.

Wilson left Sunday’s contest late in the second quarter. He was examined in the team’s medical tent and replaced by Trevor Siemian in the Jets’ final drive of the first half.

In the third quarter, the Jets announced that Wilson was ruled out with a concussion. Wilson’s mother wrote on her Instagram story Monday that the Jets signal-caller was experiencing symptoms after some “really big hits” but did not let coaches know about them because he still wanted to play.
