What's the Severity of Wilkerson's Injury?

[gmf1369]

Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson is not going to let a shoulder injury keep him out of the lineup.

“I’m going to play through it,” said Wilkerson, who did not practice Wednesday. I’m going to do whatever I can for my brothers out there. I want to be out there.”

As for the nature of the injury, the seven-year vet said, “They said it’s a Grade 1 AC joint sprain, so I do rehab and treatment every day and hope it gets better.”

Wilkerson believes he’ll most likely play with throughout the season, but said it’s something that comes with the business. When asked if he’d benefit from a week of rest, he responded, “Yeah. The bye week.”

While the bye week comes in the middle of November, the 27-year-old doesn’t believe his shoulder will affect his play.

“I thought I did a good job on Sunday,” he said. “So I’m not going to out there and be worried about it. I’m going to go out there and do my job.”

Wilkerson played in 62% of defensive plays against the Dolphins, but head coach Todd Bowles said his limited snaps were not a result of injury.

“We got ahead and had some pass rush,” Bowles said. “It was hot first of all, so we tried to rotate a lot of guys in there and that was basically what we were trying to do the whole game.”

There is the built in excuse when he underperforms this year and then the Jets will be a classless organization when they let him go.

He is garbage!!

He is a player that has surprised me. I thought he was going to be a very good/near great player for a long time who would lead and work hard. Now that he's got his money he has shown different colors. I would consider him a slightly above average player who's not worth the enormous money we are paying him. Also, he might be rubbing off on Williams who has played equally average this year.

We got to give this year more time to play out.......

He is playing with a shoulder injury this year which he expects will linger all year. Hopefully he gets at least one sack.

I was for keeping Sheldon Richardson. He hated losing about as much as I do. Wilkerson will become a salary cap cut next season unless he starts playing like 2 years ago. Here's the thing with this defense, and it's really hard to blame them even though it's wrong to be this way. they have always had the attitude that it doesn't matter how hard they play because the offense isn't going to score enough to win anyone. this is generally true. as the season or each game wears on the defense gets worse and worse as they tire or just quit. We've seen this for years

I was for drafting Sheldon but soon tired of him. He hung around with Wilk...Kiss of death......Harrison was a keeper But we really need to see how this year plays out before we go after Wilk. As far as the O last week was good lol

I agree. It's going to take time for this group to meld into a team. We got what most of us wanted, the rebuild, now lets give it time to develop.

Don't we know how this season will play out already? We will win enough games to get out of the top qb part of the draft. The defense will play hard enough to be in some games but the offense will be offensive most of the time and when the game is close the defense will give up a last minute drive to lose. While this is going on cheatahs will be winning the afc by a runaway number of victories as usual. the only question for this season is "How many points will belichick spot the unlucky NFC team that plays him in the superbowl before he pulls out his copy of their playbook?"

If Wilk was the Kiss of Death for Sheldon then you agree he is not good for the team. Yeah if he plays great the rest of the season I'll change my tune but right now it seems he either never recovered from his injury or he slacked off after the big payday

[h=1]Ch we got to do an intervention with you LOL We are going to win the Super Bowl thai year. The Pats will end up 3-13 with a pick for a top Qb not us. Keep the faith buddy!!!!![/h]

Well one thing you say sure looks like it will be true. Someone else is going to get our top qb pick. Pretty sure it won't be the cheetahs though. Maybe next off-season can be McCowns turn to hold us for ransom like Fitzpatrick did. Omg.

Funny thing. Many many years ago I used to drink genny cream ale. I saw a 30 pack last week for $14.99. Had to pick it up for old times and cause it was nearly free. Turns out it should have been free. Lol. Can hardly drink it!

A win next week most likely ends our dreams of a franchise qb and we play Cleveland. Unbelievable. After that it's the cheetahs and back to reality

Another nothing burger from Wilkerson today.

His wallet is going to be hurting a lot more next year than his shoulder is this year.
