Jets placed Garrett Wilson in the NFL’s concussion protocol. 2026-11-04 13:00:02 Wilson sustained a head injury in Week 8 against the Raiders and now appears to be a long shot for Week 9. Wilson this season has accounted for 27 percent of the Jets’ targets and 38 percent of the team’s air yards. His absence would make both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper flex-viable for Week 9, along with Mason Taylor. Cooper is coming off a game in which he saw no targets while running a route on 75 percent of the Jets’ drop backs. |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports WR Garrett Wilson won’t be traded. 2026-10-31 10:00:02 Wilson told reporters this week that he hasn’t requested a trade. Now Schefter reports, citing a “well-placed” source, that there’s “no way” the Jets will trade the 26-year-old wide receiver before the trade deadline. Wilson was held to two catches and 26 yards in Week 7, but remains in the WR2 mix heading into Week 8’s matchup against the Raiders. |

Garrett Wilson told reporters he has not requested a trade. 2026-10-28 16:00:02 Wilson said he loves it in New York. He then immediately added, “Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I’m hopeful.” It’s hard to blame Wilson. The Jets are 24-51 since drafting Wilson and he has routinely caught passes from some of the league’s worst quarterbacks. The offense has been better under Geno Smith this year, but the team is still struggling to win games. Wilson could likely force his way out of New York if he wanted to, but it sounds like he’s content to go down with the ship again this year. |

Garrett Wilson caught 2-of-3 targets for 26 yards in the Jets’ Week 7 loss to the Dolphins. 2026-10-25 18:00:03 The Dolphins shut down Wilson, opting to let Omar Cooper Jr. and Mason Taylor beat them through the air. The duo combined for 177 yards and three touchdowns while Wilson was stuck with decoy duties. Wilson was spotted screaming at Geno Smith in the fourth quarter after Smith took a back-breaking sack on third down at the goal line. Wilson downplayed the altercation after the game, saying he was “collaborating” and then noting that he wasn’t even talking to Geno. He was. With several young players taking on larger roles in the Jets’ offense, Wilson’s role as the team’s unquestioned WR1 on the team has taken a hit. Still, he should at least stay in the fantasy WR2 mix for his Week 8 date with the Raiders. |

Garrett Wilson caught 4-of-6 targets for 44 yards in the Jets’ Week 6 loss to the Patriots. 2026-10-18 20:00:02 Wilson’s second quietest effort of the season came as he dealt with Christian Gonzalez’s stingy coverage and first-round rookie teammate Omar Cooper Jr. returning from his ankle injury. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) likely — hopefully — soon returning from his marathon absence, Wilson is set to have a lot more target competition in the Jets’ receiver corps, but those extra bodies should also create more space for the Jets’ No. 1. Wilson remains a high-end WR2 heading into next week’s plus matchup with the Dolphins. |
