The Green Bay Packers\u00a0had an opportunity to stay on top of the NFC North last week when they faced the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles. The defense delivered, limiting Jalen Hurts and the Eagles to one touchdown and 10 total points. The offense, however, never found its rhythm at Lambeau Field, and Green Bay walked away with a 10-7 loss.<\/p>\n
The season pushes forward, and the 5-3-1 Packers head into a matchup that gives them a real chance to reset. They will meet a struggling New York Giants squad that sits at 2-8, recently dismissed Brian Daboll, and continues to battle major injuries. After watching his defense hold firm against Philadelphia, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said he expects Green Bay\u2019s offense to respond with a far more explosive outing against the Giants.<\/p>\n
He believes head coach Matt LaFleur and quarterback Jordan Love will have a real chance to attack New York\u2019s vulnerable defense and put up significant production.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got confidence our offense is going to go out \u2014 and this is no disrespect to the Giants \u2014 and we\u2019re going to score a lot of points. (LaFleur) is one of the best head coaches in all of the NFL and one of the best play callers,\u201d Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley\u00a0remarked about the team\u2019s offense via The Athletic\u2019s Matt Scheidmann.<\/p>\n
Even though nothing clicked for the offense in\u00a0Week ten against the Eagles\u00a0, the Packers still possess enough firepower to push the ball with consistency when they settle in. Jordan Love remains the catalyst, having completed 197 of 286 passes for 2,247 yards with 13 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He will aim to pressure the Giants secondary by working with\u00a0Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden and Christian Watson to open up the passing game.<\/p>\n
All three receivers appeared on the injury report. Romeo Doubs, dealing with a chest issue, logged a full practice on Thursday.\u00a0Matthew Golden, who is managing a shoulder concern, and Christian Watson, who is working through knee and hamstring issues, both took part on a limited basis.<\/p>\n
The Packers will take on the Giants on Sunday, November 16 at MetLife Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 12 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n
Garrett Wilson #5 of the New York Jets walks across the field before the game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0don\u2019t have many foundational players after their trade deadline fire sale, but star wide receiver\u00a0Garrett Wilson\u00a0is certainly one of them.<\/p>\n
The former Ohio State standout has been one of the Jets\u2019 lone offensive bright spots since being drafted with the 10th overall pick in 2022.<\/p>\n
With the likes of\u00a0Zach Wilson,\u00a0Mike White,\u00a0Tim Boyle,\u00a0and\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0throwing him the football, Wilson has managed to amass 1000 receiving yards in his first three seasons, something never before seen in franchise history.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, thanks to injuries, Wilson is unlikely to reach that clip in 2025.<\/p>\n
Before tweaking his knee in a Week 6 loss to the\u00a0Denver Broncos, the star wideout was on pace for 102 receptions, 1119 yards, and 11 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
He tried to make a return in Week 11 against the\u00a0Cleveland Browns, but reaggravated the same knee and has now been placed on injured reserve, knocking him out at least the next four games.<\/p>\n
Could Wilson make a return in 2025? Or should the Jets put their best offensive player on ice for the remainder of a lost season?<\/p>\n
New York Jets head coach\u00a0Aaron Glenn\u00a0was asked at his Friday press conference if Wilson will return this season from injured reserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do, I do, but again, a lot of that has to do with the docs, and him being on this short-term IR, obviously, he gets to come back after four games,\u201d Glenn\u00a0told\u00a0the press.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, he\u2019ll be back with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
A four-game stint on injured reserve would place a potential Wilson return around Week 15, when the Jets travel to Florida to take on the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
Wilson\u2019s return would certainly provide a boost for New York\u2019s offense, as their passing game is not as consistent when their star wideout is off the field.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s fair to question if the risk is worth the reward when talking about Wilson\u2019s knee.<\/p>\n
With the New York Jets at 2-8, and who knows what their record will be by Week 15, should they just allow Wilson to take the rest of the year off?<\/p>\n
If the Jets were vying for a playoff spot, it\u2019s likely their WR1 would\u2019ve been pushing to play and help his team to compete.<\/p>\n
But with the season all but over, the risk may be too high for their only \u201cuntouchable\u201d player at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n
SNY\u2019s Connor Hughes reported during the Jets\u2019 trade deadline that Wilson was the only player who was off the table in trade talks with other teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpoke to a team that called the #Jets recently about WR Garrett Wilson. With Sauce Gardner dealt, feeling around the\u00a0NFL\u00a0is anyone can be had,\u201d Hughes\u00a0wrote\u00a0on X.<\/p>\n

Not the case with Wilson. Conversations did not progress. He\u2019s untouchable.<\/p>\n

With his health in mind, it\u2019s the wisest decision to shut down Wilson and ensure his health for the start of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
After all, the Jets are likely to have a rookie quarterback under center, and what better way to acclimate him to the NFL than by giving him a No. 1 target?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
