Aaron Glenn provides hopeful injury update on Garrett Wilson

The New York Jets were missing some key pieces when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday, none bigger than star wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and there are still some question marks as they prepare for the Buffalo Bills in Week 10.

But head coach Aaron Glenn provided some positive injury updates at his Wednesday press conference, and it sounds like Wilson is on track to return after missing one game with a concussion.

"When it comes to injuries, Trevin Wallace and Harrison Phillips, they won't practice today; we'll see how that goes during the week. Guys who will be limited today: Omar (Cooper Jr.), (Joseph) Ossai, Garrett (Wilson), Nahshon (Wright), those guys are doing well."

It sounds like the Jets, at least offensively, will be back at 100% strength when they face one of their tallest tasks of the season yet in their AFC East rival Buffalo Bills.

New York Jets offense desperately missed Garrett Wilson in Week 9

When Wilson was ruled out ahead of the Jets' trip to Kansas City, there was reason to believe the offense would still function at a competent level. After all, they still had Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr., Kenyon Sadiq, and Mason Taylor all healthy.

Instead, the Jets' passing offense struggled to get off the ground. Cooper did his best, leading the way with eight catches for 58 yards, but Mitchell failed to bring down a single ball on seven targets.

It's clear that when Wilson is in the lineup, he's a big enough threat to pull a good chunk of the defensive attention his way, freeing up opportunities for his teammates. Having him back against Buffalo will give New York their best chance to win.

Other New York Jets injury notes

Aside from Wilson, Glenn did provide some other updates, saying Cooper will be "just fine" despite suffering an ankle injury late in the loss to Kansas City.

Rookie defensive back VJ Payne, who is sure to see some more playing time after the Jets traded away veteran Andre Cisco on Monday, is also trending in the right direction. He may see his first NFL action against Buffalo.

It would be nice to see edge Joseph Ossai suit up against the Bills as well. Darren Mougeys' big-ticket free-agent signing has only appeared in three games for New York so far in 2026.
