Aaron Glenn Expects Garrett Wilson Back for Jets-Bills Clash

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is nearing the final stages of the concussion protocol, with head coach Aaron Glenn expressing confidence that the star playmaker will suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Wilson missed last week's game in Kansas City after sustaining a head injury two weeks prior against the Las Vegas Raiders, participating only in limited practices this week.

The struggling Jets enter the contest at 2-7 riding a four-game losing streak, while the Bills share the league's top record at 7-1. Wilson's potential return would mark the first time the Geno Smith-led offense features both Wilson and running back Breece Hall since Week 3, as Hall recently returned from a five-game quadriceps absence. Wilson leads the team with 43 receptions for 527 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Glenn also anticipates having rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. available despite an ankle issue, giving New York a full complement of weapons alongside running back Braelon Allen and multiple tight ends. Defensively, the Jets expect edge rusher Joseph Ossai, lineman Harrison Phillips, and cornerbacks Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Nahshon Wright to play, though backup linebacker Trevin Wallace has been ruled out with a groin injury.

Garrett still has one more step to go through before he’s cleared, and I see that happening, coach Aaron Glenn said.

What to watch next: Monitor Friday's final injury designations to confirm if Wilson officially clears the protocol.
