## Key points

- Garrett Wilson is out against the Chiefs after entering concussion protocol.
- Adonai Mitchell had 142 yards and a touchdown last week.
- Rookie Omar Cooper Jr. is also expected to take on a bigger role.

## Summary

The New York Jets will be without leading receiver Garrett Wilson against the Kansas City Chiefs after he entered concussion protocol following their loss to the Raiders. His absence leaves Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. with a bigger role as the 2-6 Jets face the 5-2 Chiefs, though the coaching staff says it will adapt the offence to suit its available players.

Wilson leads the Jets with 43 catches, 527 receiving yards and three touchdowns, despite averaging 7.8 targets per game. Mitchell had a career-best seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas, while Cooper passed 100 receiving yards in each of the two games before last week. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Wilson’s abilities cannot be replaced, but expressed confidence in both receivers.
