The Bears won’t face Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, the second pick in last year’s draft, on Sunday.
He was benched Wednesday in favor of backup Mike White. Wilson won’t even be active Sunday; Joe Flacco will be the backup and he’ll be a healthy scratch.
Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters Wednesday that Wilson — who was drafted nine spots ahead of Bears quarterback Justin Fields — needed a “reset” this season.
“We haven’t wavered in our belief that he’s the future of this franchise,” he said.
