The New York Jets remain without the top weapon in their passing game.
And without Garrett Wilson, it's a very unintimidating wide receiver group on paper for the Week 11 Thursday Night Football clash with the New England Patriots.
The Jets haven't given Justin Fields a lot of help in the passing attack, and as heavy underdogs against the Pats, he may have to throw often to underwhelming WRs to try and keep up as Wilson watches from the sideline.

Why isn't Garrett Wilson playing tonight?
Garrett Wilson isn't playing on Thursday night due to a knee injury.
He returned to the field in Week 10, but he reaggravated the knee during their matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
When is Garrett Wilson coming back?
Wilson can't be back until at least Week 15.
That's because on Thursday, the Jets placed Wilson on Injured Reserve. That comes with a mandatory four-game minimum absence.
There's always a chance the Jets just hold Wilson out the rest of the way to keep him healthy, but it's unclear just how bad his knee ailment is.
Without Wilson, Adonai Mitchell is active for the first time for the Jets on Thursday night. The WR group also includes John Metchie, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Isaiah Williams.
Fields may wind up throwing a lot to TE Mason Taylor and RB Breece Hall.
