FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Zach Wilson continues to be under pressure in practice, but on one play a pass rusher got a little too close for Robert Saleh’s liking.

The rookie quarterback smacked his hand on a defensive player’s helmet while attempting a pass Tuesday. Wilson shook it as he came off and then spoke to a trainer and Saleh. Wilson returned for the next series and made a strong throw to Jamison Crowder for a big gain.
