Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been limited to seven games in 2025 due to knee injuries. Head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Friday that the star wideout will not play again this season.

With only three games to go and the Jets holding a 3-11 record, there isn’t much reason to put Wilson on the field. He was originally injured during the Jets’ loss in London to the Broncos. After missing two games, he returned for a November game against the Cleveland Browns but again left due to injury. There simply is no need to rush him back into the lineup at the end of a lost season. The best thing for Wilson is to enter the offseason program at full strength.

Wilson’s absence will provide young receivers like Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie with additional chances to make an impression and perhaps earn a spot on the team going forward.
