Jets' Wilson faces Chiefs with concussion doubts

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is listed as day-to-day with a concussion, creating uncertainty for Sunday's road game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jets have lost their last three contests, and Wilson's status is the primary variable for their offensive line-up.

Wilson suffered the injury on the final play of the 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. He was hit while making a catch, an action that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on safety Jeremy Chinn. Wilson stayed on the field for a subsequent Hail Mary attempt. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wilson reported to the facility on Monday with lingering symptoms.

The team expects to have running back Breece Hall back in the lineup. Hall has missed the last five games with a quadriceps injury but has practiced on a limited basis for two weeks. Glenn said the team approached his rehabilitation with caution to prevent further damage. Hall, who signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract in the offseason, was the subject of trade rumors. Glenn dismissed those reports on Monday, stating the team is in the business of keeping its best players.

The Jets gained value in the backfield during Hall's absence. Rookie Braelon Allen started five games and rushed for 504 yards at 5.0 yards per carry. He ranks second in the NFL for rushing yards in that span, behind only Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving, who has 548 yards. Glenn confirmed that both Hall and Allen will see time on the field but did not specify how the workload will be divided.

Wilson leads the Jets with 43 receptions, 527 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. If he is inactive, the team has depth. Adonai Mitchell posted a career-high 147 yards last week, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. has recorded two 100-yard receiving games this season.

The defense may also see changes. Rookie David Bailey, who leads the team with 5.5 sacks, is likely to play after missing one game with a groin injury. Edge rusher Joseph Ossai, who has been out for three games with an ankle injury, is also expected to return to the active roster.
