“Early indications” are that Wilson reinjured his posterior cruciate ligament \u2014 he missed four games with a PCL injury his rookie season \u2014 and may miss just a few weeks, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n

“It’s awful. Seeing not even just your quarterback but one of your brothers, in general, go down,” first-round draft pick Sauce Gardner said after the game. “Because you know, at the end of the day, he’s giving it his all. He wants to be out there with us.”<\/p>\n

A major injury to Wilson would be a devastating start to the season for the Jets, who are hoping to make big strides in Saleh’s second season as head coach. New York has already been hit with the injury bug early in the preseason, with first-round draft pick Mekhi Becton out for the season with a serious injury. <\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, it sucks,” Saleh said Tuesday, according to the New York Post<\/u>“for lack of a better word. But no one cares. You gotta get up, get ready, next man up, all those dumb clich\u00e9s in these moments.”<\/p>\n

The Jets have veteran quarterback Joe Flacco and second-year pro Mike White on the roster. Both players started games for the Jets during the 2021 season. <\/p>\n
