New York Jets' Zach Wilson worried about getting healthy, not reclaiming starting QB job

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, whose job security is being threatened by the emergence of fan favorite Mike White, said Thursday he's focused on his health, not his playing status.

"I can't even worry about that," said Wilson, who will miss his third straight game with a sprained right knee.

The 2021 second overall pick returned to practice Wednesday, but acknowledged his knee "definitely is not 100%." During his absence, the unheralded White has sparked the offense, fueling a potential quarterback controversy.

Wilson, speaking to reporters for the first time since his injury three weeks ago, said he's not concerned about the sudden uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position.
