Jets WR Wilson (concussion) ruled out vs. the Chiefs

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets won't have their top offensive player Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, as wide receiver Garrett Wilson was ruled out Friday with a concussion.

The timing is terrible for the Jets (2-6), mired in their second three-game losing streak of the season.

Wilson's absence will mean a bigger role for rookie Omar Cooper Jr., who didn't have a single target last week after consecutive 100-yard receiving games. Adonai Mitchell, coming off a career-high 142 yards, will become the No. 1 wide receiver.

"You can't replace Garrett Wilson -- he's a unique player," offensive coordinator Frank Reich said.
