Garrett Wilson injury update: New York Jets wide receiver's Week 7 status in question image

As if things weren't bad enough for the New York Jets, the team is now dealing with an injury concern with No. 1 wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

Wilson was clearly dealing with an injury during the Jets' pathetic 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, which led to him exiting the game multiple times.

However, Wilson was able to finish the game, which is a good sign for his status moving forward, although that doesn't guarantee he'll play next week.

After the game was over, we received an injury update on Wilson that now puts his Week 7 status in question.

Garrett Wilson injury update

According to Connor Hughes of SNY, Wilson is dealing with a knee injury and is set to have an MRI to determine the severity.

"Jets WR Garrett Wilson is dealing with a knee injury, not hip, per sources. He will have an MRI," Hughes reported.

ESPN's Rich Cimini adds that it doesn't appear to be an ACL injury, so that's positive news. That said, Cimini adds that tests still need to be done.

We'll see if we get an update on Wilson on Sunday, but if not head coach Aaron Glenn will address the media on Monday and could give an update then.

If not, we'll definitely get an update on Wilson by Wednesday, when the Jets drop their first injury report of the week ahead of the Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers.
