Well, it happened. The biggest fear that surrounded the mind of every New York Jets fan materialized last Friday in Philly: Zach Wilson got hurt in a meaningless preseason game.
Worse: Wilson hurt his knee on a non-contact play. That led to multiple instant tweets by Twitter doctors guaranteeing that Wilson’s season came to an end, with a supposed ACL tear.
Boom. Season over. Flacco time. Wilson’s evaluation would have to be postponed to 2023, while the youngsters would have “only” a learning year in 2022.
That narrative lasted for less than a day.
