Zach Wilson To Start Again In Week 14 For Jets?

12 months ago

The New York Jets want to make a switch again at quarterback after benching Tim Boyle for Trevor Siemian in their Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and they are leaning towards Zach Wilson taking over. However, he is reportedly reluctant to step back in and the Jets are discussing their next steps. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) reached out to Wilson in an effort to advise him to resume the starting role. Head coach Robert Saleh said he's not ready to name a starting QB for Week 14 against the Houston Texans. "Let's be clear, if he were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here," Saleh said of Wilson. The 24-year-old QB is apprehensive due to perceived injury risk as it pertains to his future value to another organization beyond this season. Wilson is probably New York's best option to lead the offense as long as Rodgers is out, but it he'll remain nothing more than a low-end QB2 option if he starts in Week 14.
