Jets’ Zach Wilson Suffers Hideous Knee Injury in Loss to Pats
Not only did the New York Jets suffer one of their worst blowouts in years, they lost their starting quarterback in the process.
Zach Wilson suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday’s 54-13 loss to the Patriots. It is believed that it could be a PCL injury, and according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, it is not believed to be season ending. Wilson will undergo an MRI on Monday.

Wilson was involved in two brutal hits during Sunday’s game.
First he landed awkwardly when defensive end Lawrence Guy dove toward Wilson’s knees. His knee appeared to buckle and twist the wrong way on the play. There was no roughing the passer called on the play.
Two plays later, Matt Judan landed on the quarterback’s lower half as he heaved a pass downfield for an incompletion. Wilson lay on his back for several minutes before he was helped off the field.
Hopefully Wilson doesn’t miss much time.
