The Jets are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. There were even indications of Wilson potentially returning to the team for this game. However, that has been shut down, as he just isn’t ready yet.
For now, quarterback Joe Flacco is set to continue leading the team in Week 3. NFL Insider Ian Rappoport also gave his info on Wilson’s injury update on Good Morning Football. Here’s what he had to say:
He continued:
Not rushing Zach Wilson back from a meniscus injury is the right decision for the franchise. Joe Flacco has already inspired them to a huge win against the Cleveland Browns, proving he can deliver in Wilson’s absence.
The New York Jets will face a tough test against the Cincinnati Bengals without Zach Wilson
With the help of Flacco, the Jets won the game against the Browns 31-30 in Week 2, where all the odds were against them. However, they will have to deal with the Bengals in Week 3, an altogether different prospect. Joe Burrow and the Bengals have lost two straight games to start the season. A loss to the Jets would cause a real crisis in Cincinnati. Expect to see them come out in this game with all guns blazing.
Jets rookie cornerback Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner will be required to be at his best as he will be dealing with star receiver Ja’Marr Chase throughout the game. It will be a very tough game for the Jets, but maybe Joe Flacco has another win in him before Zach Wilson returns.
