Wilson’s knee appeared to buckle after a non-contact injury as he exited the pocket on the field, trying to outrun a would-be tackler for the Philadelphia Eagles. It went down awkwardly. He limped to his feet but fell to the turf in obvious pain. It’s the same knee that was injured last season. Wilson tore his PCL in a Week 7 loss and would miss four games. Wilson got off to a rough start against the Eagles, throwing an interception on the Jets’ fifth play. Four games later, he was injured. He was replaced by third string Mike White. The usual backup, Joe Flacco, was given the night. The Jets have high hopes for Wilson in his second year, believing he can improve after a rough rookie year. Their entire offseason was geared around Wilson, who was drafted second overall in 2021. The Jets upgraded their supporting cast with the belief that they would elevate Wilson’s game.
