New York Jets QB Zach Wilson medically cleared, will start against Pittsburgh Steelers

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After sitting out the first three games due to a preseason knee injury, quarterback Zach Wilson has been medically cleared and will start Sunday for the New York Jets, coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday.

Wilson, who practiced on a limited basis the last two weeks, is expected to take a full load of practice reps as he ramps up for his return -- a road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Saleh was optimistic this would be the outcome, pending a confirmation from Wilson's Los Angeles-based doctor.

Saleh said Wilson will "absolutely" start, assuming he makes it through the week of practice.
