FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — When he first felt his right knee buckle, Zach Wilson thought his season might be over.
"I felt a pop in there," the Jets’ rookie quarterback said of Patriots linebacker Matt Judon hitting him after he threw a deep pass in the second quarter of Sunday’s 54-13 loss. "I was thinking the worst [case] scenario in my head, which sucks."
He lay there near midfield, remaining motionless as the Jets’ training and medical staff rushed toward him. Wilson stayed down for several minutes as his knee was examined before getting to his feet and walking slowly off the field.
