Jets' Garrett Wilson says he'll play vs. Bills despite elbow injury
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will be questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills due to an elbow injury, head coach Robert Saleh announced Friday. He was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
"We'll see," Saleh said of Wilson's status, according to SNY. "I'm not going to speak for him or the doctors, but there's a couple hurdles he has to clear."
The 23-year-old wideout said he expects to face the Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
Wilson leads the Jets with 55 receptions, 642 yards, and two touchdown catches. The second-year wideout has also amassed a team-high 95 targets, more than twice as many as New York's second-most targeted pass-catcher, tight end Tyler Conklin (42).
The 10th overall pick in 2022, Wilson put on a show in Year 1 en route to being named Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Ohio State product caught 83 passes for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns last season despite the Jets starting three different quarterbacks throughout the campaign.
The Jets - who've struggled offensively and haven't scored a touchdown in their last two games - are 4-5 in 2023. They're on a two-game losing streak.
