The New York Jets received encouraging news about Garrett Wilson, but questions remain heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
The franchise receiver will practice this week after missing the last two games with a knee injury, head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Monday.
However, he wouldn’t specify how much work the star wideout will get. It’s a positive step for Gang Green, but you can hardly predict his availability for Week 10.
Garrett Wilson Injury Casts Shadow Over Jets’ Week 10 Plans
Wilson hyperextended his knee during the Jets’ Week 6 loss in London and team management sidelined him for the next two games before the Week 9 bye.
The extra week gave Wilson three full weeks of recovery, aligning perfectly with the initial “couple of weeks” timeline. Still, the Jets are treading carefully with their most valuable offensive man.
ESPN reporter Rich Cimini dropped a very positive update that has Jets fans giving hope, tweeting, “#Jets injury update: WR Garrett Wilson (knee) will practice this week. How much, Glenn wouldn’t say, but it’s a positive step.”

Though the Jets are in the cellar of AFC East standings, Wilson is the easy choice, leading the Jets in every category.
He still is the best receiver for the Jets this season, and his absence further exposed the Jets’ struggling passing attack, which averaged just 148 yards per game in the two weeks before their lone victory.
With the Jets’ receiving room being bare bones now, his return is very much needed in Week 10. However, Glenn’s refusal to commit one way or the other keeps Wilson’s status unclear. They have zero reason to rush him back if he’s not 100 percent.
Should Garrett Wilson Request A Trade This Offseason?
The question looms larger after Tuesday’s trade deadline chaos. They traded away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at the deadline, both of whom had just signed big extensions alongside Garrett Wilson.
In return, they picked up three first-round picks and a second-rounder — signaling a full rebuild. Despite interest from other teams, the Jets refused to entertain offers for Wilson.
Wilson is locked in through 2030 on a four-year, $130 million deal he signed in July. He chose to stay, but now he’s watching the team reset around him. Former QB Dan Orlovsky said Wilson’s career is “dying” in New York and suggested he should push for a trade.
The tension is real for some reason. Wilson was seen yelling at head coach Glenn during the Denver loss and later criticized the staff’s decisions. The Jets say he’s the centerpiece of their rebuild, but it’s unclear how long he’ll wait for results or how much losing he’s willing to tolerate.
