Garrett Wilson is not expected to play this week and is projected to return no earlier than Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season, with mid-December the first realistic target for his comeback.

Eligibility and Timeline

• Wilson is on short-term injured reserve with a right knee sprain that he re-aggravated in Week 10, which by rule forces him to miss at least four games before he can be activated.

• The earliest game he is eligible to return is Week 15, when the New York Jets face the Jacksonville Jaguars, making a Week 15 or Week 16 return the most commonly cited window.

Team Expectations

• Jets officials and head coach Aaron Glenn have indicated optimism that Wilson will play again this season if he is cleared by team doctors, rather than being shut down entirely.

• Reports describe his situation as “week to week” once he is eligible, so fantasy managers should plan as if he is out through Week 14 and monitor practice reports and official Jets injury reports leading into Week 15.
