ESPN’s Dianna Russini is reporting that the Jets believe Wilson reinjured his PCL, which only sidelined him for a few weeks last season.
While the Jets will wait for the MRI tomorrow to get more answers on Zach Wilson’s knee situation, sources share the early thought is it could be a PCL injury. More definitive answers coming but there’s hope among the team it could just be a few weeks of recovery.
