Zach Wilson not dressed in final preseason game against Eagles
After high hopes that Jets quarterback, Zach Wilson would start in the final preseason game against the Eagles, Mother Nature and Robert Saleh may say otherwise.
The weather conditions haven’t been the best this evening. The Saints/Cardinals game was cancelled after Hurricane Ida approaches the gulf and the Jets/Eagles game seems to fair no better with one hell of a rain storm coming down over MetLife Stadium.
The hopes were to have the starters take the field in the final preseason game for the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. But it looks like Mother Nature has changed her tune on that decision as she ravages on with her thunderstorm.

The storm has been raging on for hours with no signs of stopping. This makes for not-so-ideal playing conditions for the Jets and the Eagles respectively. While Jalen Hurts is out, it seems as though Zach Wilson will be following suit.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said he was leaning towards playing his starters in the first half, but the rain and field conditions apparently forced him to reconsider.

The only QBs I see warming up are James Morgan and Josh Johnson. I think Zach Wilson is on the side out of uniform.
It’s probably the best decision, despite the fact that this is the time of the preseason when you put your best players out. Wilson is one of the best and most exciting players to come out of this preseason, but it would be a bad move to play one of the best in conditions that would be detrimental to his health.
For now, look to see Wilson take the field in Week 1, with hopefully better weather conditions than what we have now.
