New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will not play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Wednesday that Wilson has entered the concussion protocol. The decision removes the team's primary receiving threat from the lineup at Arrowhead Stadium.
Wilson missed the start of practice on Wednesday. He enters the game with 43 receptions for 527 yards and three touchdowns this season. In the most recent game against the Las Vegas Raiders, he caught six passes for 83 yards.
If Wilson remains inactive, the Jets will lean on 2026 first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. and third-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. Running back Breece Hall practiced with a quad injury that has limited him all season. Second overall pick David Bailey was also limited due to a groin issue.
The Chiefs listed several players as limited on their injury report. Tight end Travis Kelce has an ankle injury, while wide receiver Rashee Rice deals with a hamstring and knee problem. Cornerback Mansoor Delane has a shoulder injury. Rice told reporters he feels 100 percent after returning to the field last week in Denver.
The game is scheduled for noon on Sunday. The Chiefs have won five of their seven games, while the Jets have lost six of their eight. The matchup will air on KCTV5 in the Kansas City area.
