Jets’ QB Zach Wilson has a bone bruise and a meniscus tear and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, as @BrianCoz also reported. Wilson will undergo arthroscopic surgery to address and correct the injury. Jets consider it fortunate news.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 13, 2022 A great sigh of relief... I'm glad his knee has that dawg in him
Zach Wilson’s upcoming arthroscopic knee surgery is expected to determine whether he will miss closer to the two or the four weeks, per source. https://t.co/0I6IQxpLGK— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 13, 2022
Great news!!! I think they will play it conservatively. It looks like Robert Williams from Celtics had something similar. Returned in under 30 days. Had some pain, but basketball is much more demanding on knees than QB play. Another good news is that it is not the same as old injury, no PCL damage. Probably won't be ready for Game 1, but Game 2 is a strong possibility IMO. Really all around the best news we could have hoped for.
Hard to imagine better news for a franchise on suicide watch expecting much worse. That is twice now that Zach has avoided a big time injury.
This is very good news for the Jets, who believe there's a chance he could be ready for Week 1. https://t.co/ZEBLjtPEM5— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 13, 2022 Also a quick update from X Factor. https://jetsxfactor.com/2022/08/13/ny-jets-zach-wilson-acl-injury-bone-bruise/
The important thing now is to make sure we don't take any shortcuts to compromise Zach for the future and make him more susceptible to future meniscus injury. Hopefully second opinion will confirm and surgery will be done today. As for the timetable, Wilson's surgical procedure date is pending a second opinion, per source. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 13, 2022
Did you guys actually watch Zach last night before the injury? When he went down my first thought was “OMG we have a shot at competent QB play this year!”
I fell into Twitter last night too. Never do that because you just get a bunch of idiots making shit up hoping they are right. Great news, but last night was still one the darkest periods of my jet fandom.
Utter nonsense. But I clearly didn't expect anything different from you. You never have and never will give the kid a chance. Period. How pathetic to root for an injury to prove an ill conceived point.
This reeks of throwing him into week one with limited preparation and the young QB getting demolished by the Ravens like Sanchez did way back when.
I actually think if the jets win week one and he sits, the he shits the bed in week two is causes a lot of headaches..
This is what I hope they don’t do. If his return timetable ends up being closer to 2 weeks than 4, Week 1 could still be an option but I’d say just sit him for Week 1 it’s it’s closer to 4 weeks. No need to rush him back IMO. Flacco can start a game or two until Zach is 100%.
