Zach Wilson cleared by doctors, will start for Jets at Pittsburgh

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Zach Wilson is back under center for the New York Jets.

Coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday the second-year quarterback will make his season debut at Pittsburgh on Sunday "if all goes well this week" at practice, six weeks after having knee surgery.

"Absolutely, yeah," Saleh said.

Wilson had been ramping up workouts in recent weeks, but Saleh said Monday the Jets were waiting for the quarterback's doctors to clear him before making a decision about this week. Wilson was cleared to fully practice Wednesday as New York prepares for its game at Pittsburgh.
