FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets cast some doubt on their quarterback situation for Week 1, announcing Monday that Zach Wilson worked out for the first time since Aug.
16 arthroscopic knee surgery. Coach Robert Saleh said «it's possible» that Wilson could start Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, although the realistic outcome is that Wilson will get at least another week to heal.
That would set up backup Joe Flacco to face the Ravens, his team from 2005 to 2018, in the season opener at MetLife Stadium.
All signs have been pointing to Flacco since Wilson suffered a torn meniscus and bone bruise Aug. 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Saleh added some suspense on Monday. «Looked good, felt good,» Saleh said of Wilson's workout. «We're going to see how the knee responds today and tomorrow and we'll have an answer for everybody on Wednesday.» Monday's practice was closed to the media, and Saleh didn't provide many details except to say Wilson's workout included running and throwing.
