The news for the New York Jets on Zach Wilson could have been far worse. However, their second-year quarterback is facing a surgical procedure and will be lost for 2-4 weeks.
Wilson suffered a bone bruise and meniscus tear Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jets QB Zach Wilson has a bone bruise and meniscus tear, per sources. He will miss 2-4 weeks. He will get a second opinion, but that is the belief right now.

Important to note Wilson’s meniscus only needs a trim, not a full repair, per source.

There is a chance the doctors will find something different once they go in to fix the meniscus but right now it is good news for Zach and Jets.

The non-contact injury came on a play that saw him evade the Eagles’ rush and scramble.

The Jets’ quarterback room has Mike White, veteran Joe Flacco, and Chris Streveler, who will fill the void as Wilson recuperates.
