REPORT: Zach Wilson of the New York Jets sustains an injury during the Miami Dolphins game.

The Miami Dolphins handed the New York Jets a heartbreaking defeat on Sunday. The Jets’ prospects of making the playoffs were dashed after they were shut out 30-0 by the Dolphins in a genuinely poor display.

To make matters worse, starting quarterback Zach Wilson had a worrying injury that prevented him from playing for the remainder of the game and may keep him out for several more.

Zach Wilson is ruled out of the New York Jets game against the Dolphins.

Wilson left the blowout on Sunday before halftime and was subsequently unable to come back. According to early accounts, the 24-year-old went to the locker room to replenish his fluids. Wilson was then said to have had an injury of some kind, which was not considered a concussion at the time.

The Jets didn’t declare their starting quarterback out of the game until much later on in the game due to a concussion:

Wilson may lose time and will be subject to the league’s concussion protocol as a result of this.

Wilson completed 14 of 26 passes for 110 yards at the end of the game. He was sacked at least four times and had two interceptions.

With this crushing defeat, New York’s dreams of making the playoffs were officially dashed. They are now third in the AFC East with a 5-9 record. In their division, the only team with a lower record than the Jets is the 3-11 New England Patriots.

The fact that New York is no longer in playoff contention likely means that Aaron Rodgers won’t be returning this season. There was a lot of hope that the four-time MVP would be able to come back from his Achilles injury in time for the Jets’ playoff run, which now isn’t going to happen.
