New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports. The news was reported by Josh Alper on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
Wilson, a key offensive weapon for the Jets, will now follow the league's mandated return-to-play procedures before being cleared for game action. The concussion protocol involves a multi-step process including symptom monitoring, cognitive testing, and gradual return to physical activity under medical supervision.
The timing of Wilson's entry into the protocol and the specific circumstances of the injury were not immediately detailed in the initial report. His availability for upcoming games will depend on his progression through each phase of the protocol and clearance from independent neurological consultants.
