Wilson admitted the injury would limit him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, but we\u2019ll get there,\u201d said Wilson, who is listed as questionable after practicing limitedly all <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Choice<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Jets-Garrett-Wilson-slowed-by-elbow-injury-but-plans-to.jpg&#038;w=130&#038;h=130&#038;scale=crop&#038;location=center.jpeg\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Wilson was injured in last week&#8217;s 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but returned to the game and finished with nine catches for 93 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, Wilson was called upon to execute a tricky play \u2013 a wide receiver pass \u2013 even after receiving medical treatment for his elbow.  He threw a wobbly, off-target pass out of bounds, missing an open Allen Lazard.  Wilson admitted the injury affected his throwing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to pretend,\u201d he said, smiling.  \u201cI wish I could have thrown that thing because it was a touchdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a pivotal game for the Jets (4-5), who have lost two games in a row, and they absolutely need Wilson on the field.  He leads the team with 55 catches for 642 yards and two touchdowns and has accounted for 35% of their receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson and running back Breece Hall (three) are the only Jets players to have more than one touchdown this season.  As a team, the Jets have just eight, one lowest in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Before practice, coach Robert Saleh was noncommittal on Wilson&#8217;s availability for Sunday, saying &#8220;everything is positive&#8221; but &#8220;there are a few hurdles he has to clear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s been great and he&#8217;s working on it, and there&#8217;s just some things he&#8217;s not 100 percent with,\u201d Saleh said.  \u201cAgain, he&#8217;s been working really hard to try to get there and try to alleviate all the different pains that he&#8217;s having, but we&#8217;re going to continue to work with him and see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, played a pivotal role behind the scenes this week.  He was one of the driving forces behind a players-only meeting for the struggling offense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was good to see us talking to each other,\u201d he said.  &#8220;I feel like it gives you a sense of confidence to hold the guys accountable for what we talked about in that players meeting. It&#8217;s the same for me; they hold me accountable for everything that I spoke. And that&#8217;s how it should be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jets&#8217; Garrett Wilson slowed by elbow injury but plans to play\u060c Rich Cimini, ESPN editorNovember 17, 2023, 8:28 p.m. Close Rich Cimini is a writer who covers the New York Jets and the NFL on ESPN.
