Zach Wilson, the starting quarterback for the New York Jets following Aaron Rodgers\u2019 season-ending injury, has been sidelined due to a concussion he sustained during the game against Miami on December 17. As a result, Wilson missed the Jets\u2019 recent home game against the Commanders and is set to miss the Week 17 matchup against the Browns as well, as he has yet to clear the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
Jets\u2019 head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Wilson\u2019s absence from the upcoming game against the Browns during a press conference, also stating that Wilson\u2019s return wasn\u2019t worth rushing given the team\u2019s current 6-9 record and elimination from postseason contention.<\/p>\n
Wilson, in his rookie season, has started 12 games this year, with a record of 4-7 as a starter. He has completed 60.1 percent of his passes, throwing for eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.<\/p>\n
In Wilson\u2019s absence, Trevor Siemian, who led the Jets to a win against Washington in his last start, will be starting against the Browns. Siemian\u2019s performance against Washington was modest, with 217 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. However, in his appearance against the Dolphins after replacing Wilson, Siemian threw two interceptions.<\/p>\n
The starting quarterback for the Jets in their season finale against the Patriots is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
