Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, will not start Sunday’s game for the Jets against the Bears, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
During a Wednesday team meeting, Jets players were informed that Wilson will not be under center to begin the team’s home game against Chicago, Schefter reports. Wilson is 5–2 as Jets starter this year, but the team has been carried by its defense as Wilson has struggled individually.
Wilson’s struggles came to a head in Week 11’s 10–3 loss to the Patriots. He completed just 9-of-22 passes for 77 yards in the game, and was sacked four times.
