Coffee with the Jets: Wilkerson benched for Week 15

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for the New York Jets, earlier today, some breaking news hit the wire. Head coach Todd Bowles has confirmed that starting defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson won’t be flying with the team to New Orleans to take on the Saints in their Week 15 matchup.

Bowles didn’t specify exactly why this has happened but once again referred to it as a coaching decision. Details will undoubtedly surface over the next few days but chances are, Wilkerson probably violated team rules or came late yet again to more mandatory team meetings.
