The New York Jets welcomed back wide receiver Garrett Wilson for the Week 10 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Wilson, who is the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver, had missed the previous two games with a hyperextended knee, but he was cleared to play in Week 10 after the Jets came out of their bye.

However, Wilson's return has been uneventful in the first half of the game against the Browns. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Garrett Wilson playing today?

UPDATE: Wilson has been ruled out due to a knee injury.

UPDATE: Wilson has come out of the tent and is on the exercise bike. That's a good sign for his chances of getting back into the game.

UPDATE: Just when there was some hope for Wilson after Justin Fields got benched, he is now dealing with an apparent injury after hobbling to the sideline during the third quarter. There's no update from the team yet.

Yes, Wilson is active and in the lineup, but shockingly, he has only been targeted once in the first half.

In fairness to Wilson, he is playing against a talented defense that is able to key in on him with the Jets sorely lacking wide receiver depth behind their top target. The Jets are also having a terrible game offensively.

Hopefully the second half will yield better results.
