New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee versus the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason matchup. The news came after an MRI exam that revealed that he'll be out of action between two and four weeks. His injury came on the second drive of the game and was a non-contact injury.
The Jets quarterback moved out of the pocket, attempted to shift inside the field of play and did not run out of bounds. His right knee buckled on the field and he fell to the turf. He exited the game and quickly went to the locker room. Wilson's injury was initially seen as the worst as an ACL tear, but luckily that wasn't the case.

In his rookie season in 2021, Wilson started 13 games for the Jets, throwing for 2,334 yards, nine touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
