This Zach Wilson-Joe Flacco quote from Jets’ Garrett Wilson won’t cause anyone to overreact

Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson, along with the other receivers in Florham Park, must work alongside a new QB1 for the time being. Zach Wilson suffered a bone bruise and torn meniscus in last Friday’s preseason opener. He’s undergoing surgery Tuesday and is initially expected to miss 2-4 weeks, putting into question his Week 1 status.

This means veteran Joe Flacco, who returned to the Jets on a one-year deal in the offseason, will be taking the first-team reps until further notice.

Is there a difference for the first-year wideout between playing with Zach Wilson and his temporary replacement?
