Garrett Wilsons reintroduction to Jets offense didnt end as anyone hoped

The Jets finally targeted their top receiver Garrett Wilson the way they need to target their best offensive player Sunday against the Raiders. Wilson, who was targeted only three times last week, had 12 passes thrown his way, resulting in six receptions for 83 yards.But in the end, the result was the same: another Jets loss. Wilson caught a 31-yard pass from Geno Smith on the first play from scrimmage. “We just came out with an aggressive mindset, and that worked for us,’’ Wilson said.

He leads the team with 5 ½ sacks, nine quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss.He also has three forced fumbles and 35 tackles. Although RB Breece Hall was held out for a fifth consecutive game because of the quadriceps injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Lions, expect him back next week. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said after the game that Hall is “close.’’ And Braelon Allen, who rushed for 147 yards and a TD, hurt a leg late in the game and was walking gingerly in the locker room afterward.
So, that will be something to keep an eye on as the week progresses. “Breece is close,’’ Glenn said.“But we want to make sure we’re handling that situation the right way.
He’s an important part of what we’re doing and what we’re building, so we want to make sure he’s fully healthy before putting him out there.What we don’t want is a setback. “Same with Bailey.
We don’t want a setback.He...
