Panthers Favored as Jets Likely Without Garrett Wilson

The New York Jets (0-6) could be without star WR Garrett Wilson (listed as doubtful) for Sunday’s game at MetLife after he hyperextended a knee in the Week 6 London loss and missed practice all week; veteran Josh Reynolds is expected to step up if Wilson can’t play. Other Jets injury notes include CB Qwan’tez Stiggers and LB Cam Jones listed doubtful and nickel CB Michael Carter II nearing the end of the concussion protocol. The Carolina Panthers (3-3) head to MetLife riding two straight wins and are favored on the road for the first time since 2021 as Bryce Young’s leadership and a resurgent running game led by Rico Dowdle have powered the streak. Carolina has been stout against the run recently despite a 0-3 road record, while New York’s offense has struggled — including a franchise-worst minus-10 net passing yards in London — even as the Jets stick with Justin Fields and rely on Breece Hall. The matchup tilts toward the Panthers given New York’s injuries and form, making Sunday a key chance for Carolina to secure a third straight win and for the Jets to avoid an 0-7 start.
