New York Jets QB Zach Wilson returns but admits knee still not 100%

The New York Jets officially announced that quarterback Zach Wilson will be returning to the team. The knee injury he sustained is still not 100% after undergoing surgery earlier this year, but his return gives the Jets more depth at an area they were struggling with.

The “zach wilson highlights” is a video of the New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson returning from injury but admitting his knee still isn’t 100%.

HOUSTON, Texas — New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson acknowledged his right knee, which he damaged five weeks ago, is still not 100 percent after a clumsy comeback to the starting lineup.

“It’s not totally healed, and we realize that,” the rookie stated after his team’s 21-14 win against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. “That is something I am aware of. It will move and stretch a little bit from time to time, but there will be no harm done. All you have to do now is walk it off and go on.”

Wilson, the No. 2 overall selection, sprained his PCL in the second degree on Oct. 24. Coach Robert Saleh said the Jets wouldn’t let him back on the field until he was “totally well” and psychologically ready, predicting a two- to four-week layoff. Wilson claimed he was “100 percent confident” in his ability to play on Wednesday, but he admitted after the game that his knee is “not entirely stable” and that it got into his mind on a fourth-quarter sack.

While attempting to avoid the pass rush, he exacerbated his knee, ultimately running out of bounds on a third-down play. He hobbled to the sideline, where he was examined by the Jets’ team doctor. Backup Josh Johnson began warming up, but Wilson returned for the following series and the rest of the game, subsequently stating that he never doubted his comeback.

Wilson stated that he should have thrown the ball away before taking the sack, but claimed he was thinking about his knee and “let it impact me” on that play.

He said, “I had injured it (when scrambling) and my body just kind of shut down and I just sort of forgot about everything that was going on out there because of that.” “I knew it might happen from time to time, so I’ll simply toss the ball away.”

Wilson’s knee didn’t appear to bother Saleh, who said it “checked out OK.” Wilson, who was wearing a brace, claimed he tweaked it a number of times throughout the game.

The Jets (3-9) triumphed thanks to their defense, which produced five sacks after rallying from an 11-point hole to halt a three-game losing run. Wilson was dissatisfied with his effort, which included 14-for-24 passing for 145 yards and one interception.

The interception was a blooper play in which he scrambled and flipped a forward throw to running back Ty Johnson, who wasn’t anticipating it as he reached the line of scrimmage. The ball struck him in the back and fell in linebacker Tavierre Thomas’ hands. Wilson’s interception was his tenth in seven games.

That, too, may have been a play when he was paying attention to his knee. Wilson said “The oceans parted, and I took a stride forward. I flipped it to my checkdown in front of me instead of rushing and being blasted by someone or attempting to slide. It was one of those awful situations that happens from time to time.”

Wilson was bold on a zone read later in the third quarter, maintaining the ball and scored from 4 yards to give the Jets an 18-14 lead with 7:51 remaining in the quarter – his first career running touchdown.

Wilson’s rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore stated, “He started off a bit sluggish, but I’m not concerned about him.” “He’s one of those players, and his attitude is insane, so I have complete faith in him to do it right.”

Wilson misfired on six of his first seven attempts, and on short passes, he used too much velocity. It followed a season-long habit of underperforming in the first half of games, throwing seven interceptions and zero touchdown passes.

The Jets had a league-high 436 total yards per game in four games without Wilson. That came to a screeching end against the Texans, as they only managed 266 yards and two touchdown drives (2-9).

“Obviously, there was some rust after a month,” Saleh said of Wilson, “but I felt he controlled the game effectively.”

Wilson was quite critical of himself. He was ecstatic by the victory, but he appeared agitated by his “ups and downs,” as he put it. He was adamant about not using the five-week layoff as an excuse.

“Every week, I’m going to become better at it,” he added, “but I’m just irritated with myself as to why I’m not just letting it rip and playing effectively like I have my whole life.”
