FLORHAM PARK, NJ (AP) – New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will have arthroscopic surgery on his injured right knee Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Wilson suffered a bone bruise and a torn meniscus on the Jets’ second offensive drive Friday night in their first preseason game in Philadelphia.
The procedure to repair the meniscus, which will be performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, will determine how long Wilson will be sidelined. Wilson is currently expected to be out two to four weeks based on initial tests, but there is a chance he could be out longer depending on the condition of the knee when ElAttrache operates.
