Jets Rule Out Key Players Gardner Wilson Ahead Bengals Clash

The New York Jets are facing significant setbacks ahead of their NFL matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, with key players cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson ruled out due to concussion and knee injuries, respectively. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is also questionable due to a knee injury, while Justin Fields has been confirmed as the starter in Taylor's absence. The Jets, currently winless at 0-7, are struggling with injuries to their top performers and have yet to resolve their quarterback situation, despite coach Aaron Glenn having the authority to decide who plays. Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has requested a trade, adding to Cincinnati's defensive woes, as the team ranks poorly in defense this season. The Jets' owner Woody Johnson has publicly backed coach Glenn to turn the team's fortunes around, emphasizing Glenn's straightforward leadership style. Meanwhile, the Bengals hope to have defensive end Trey Hendrickson return from injury for the game, which will be a crucial test for both teams.
