What happened: New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced that Garrett Wilson is in the NFL concussion protocol. The 2022 first-round draft pick is currently listed as questionable and considered day-to-day. Any missed time puts immediate pressure on an offense built entirely around his production.

Why it matters: Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and three touchdowns in 2026 through eight games. Those numbers prove he can maintain elite production despite defensive units focusing coverage toward stopping him. Any wide receiver sustaining that volume belongs firmly in the top-five conversation.
