The New York Jets are not ruling out quarterback Zach Wilson playing in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. 

Head coach Robert Saleh gave an update on his second-year signal caller, who suffered a torn meniscus during the team's first preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilson had surgery and has been rehabbing since, and things are clearly going well. 

"Well we put Zach through a workout today. Looked good, felt good," Saleh told reporters. "We’re going to see how the knee responds today and tomorrow, and I’ll have an answer for everyone on Wednesday."

When asked if it is realistic that Wilson could be active on Sunday, Saleh responded, ‘It’s possible."

Saleh added that "everyone heals differently," so it is always possible that a player can return faster than others despite having the same injury.

This would be a tremendous boost for the Jets if Wilson is in fact ready for Week 1. New York is looking to take a leap forward this season with GM Joe Douglas doing everything possible to provide Wilson with solid protection from the offensive line and offensive weapons that he needs.
