The Jets are starting Joe Flacco on Sunday in the team’s season opener against the Ravens, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Zach Wilson is progressing well after he suffered a bone bruise and a torn meniscus during the first preseason game on Aug. 12 but he’s still not ready to take the field.
He underwent a successful knee surgery a few days after the injury, which included a meniscus trim. He was expected to recover in two to four weeks but it looks like it will be closer to a month-long recovery.
