Jets Look Extremely Suspect With Their Handling Of The Zach Wilson Hydration/Concussion Situation

Among the many dysfunctionalities displayed by the New York Jets on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, one of the most notable is the bizarre injury that Zach Wilson suffered.

After spending much of the game running for his life behind the Jets’ patchwork offensive line, Wilson finally got hurt and exited the game at the end of the second quarter.

The initial report out of the locker room, however, was that he left the game due to “dehydration.”

By the time the game between the Jets and the Dolphins ended (Gang Green got shut out in a 30-0 loss), however, the Jets confirmed that Wilson was, in fact, being evaluated for a concussion.

Wilson’s concussion comes after reports of the third-year signal-caller being hesitant about returning to the lineup due to the risk of injuring himself ahead of what he believes is an offseason that will see him traded elsewhere.

If Wilson can’t (or won’t) play next week, the Jets will likely have to turn to Trevor Siemian for what will surely be a miserable home game against the similarly and grossly mismanaged Washington Commanders.

In addition to a home game against the Commanders, the Jets have games against the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots remaining on their schedule.

Now that their playoff chances are officially dead and Aaron Rodgers has no intelligent reason to return to the field, it’ll be interesting to see how hard the locker room plays over the next few weeks with head coach Robert Saleh’s job perhaps hanging in the balance.
