The New York Jets have ruled wide receiver Garrett Wilson out for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs as he recovers from a concussion. Wilson suffered the head injury on the next-to-last play of last week's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, when safety Jeremy Chinn hit him. He remained in the game but reported symptoms Monday and entered the concussion protocol Wednesday.
The timing is terrible for the Jets (2-6), who are mired in their second three-game losing streak. Wilson leads the team with 43 receptions for 527 yards and three touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Wilson cannot be replaced, but expressed confidence in rookie Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell, who posted a career-high 142 yards and will become the No. 1 wide receiver.
There is some positive news on offense. Running back Breece Hall, sidelined five games with a quadriceps injury, said he is ready to go after being listed as questionable for two games. Backup Braelon Allen rushed for 504 yards during Hall's absence. Coach Aaron Glenn said both running backs will play, with the workload described as "a mixture."
