## Key points

- He leads New York with 527 receiving yards.
- Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. may take on larger roles.

## Summary

The New York Jets will be without leading receiver Garrett Wilson for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs after he entered concussion protocol following their loss to the Raiders. The absence adds to the challenge for the 2-6 Jets, who face a 5-2 Chiefs side in Kansas City.

Wilson leads the Jets with 43 catches, 527 receiving yards and three touchdowns, despite averaging 7.8 targets per game, his lowest rate since his rookie season. Adonai Mitchell, who had seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. are among the receivers expected to take on more responsibility. Coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged Wilson’s importance, while offensive coordinator Frank Reich said the team would adapt its approach to suit the other players’ strengths.
