During a film review this week, former Jets LB Bart Scott provided an excellent breakdown of DE Muhammad Wilkerson’s Week 16 sack of Tom Brady. Scott pointed to Wilkerson’s ankle bend and ankle mobility to turn the corner before racking up a strip sack.
“I feel good. The ankle’s getting better each and every week,” Wilkerson told us. “But these last couple of weeks towards the end of the regular season, it’s getting better.”
Wilkerson has totaled 62 tackles this season, racking up 3.5 sacks and 10 TFL. It was Week 17 last year against the Bills when Wilkerson suffered a broken fibula that required offseason surgery.
“Dr. (Robert) Anderson, who did the surgery, told me it would take a year for it to really get back. So Jan. 3 will be a year,” he said. “I’m glad it’s feeling better and it’s getting there. I’m continuing to rehab during the offseason and get ready for a strong year next year.”
