HC Jets Robert Saleh: ‘Maybe’ Zach Wilson Could Start Week 1
maybe New York Jets Reserve defender Joe Flacco ended up not having a chance at Week 1’s “revenge game” against the Baltimore Ravens?
Second quarter next year Zach Wilson underwent knee surgery in mid-August, and it was reported that at the time, Flacco had ” lined up“to start the season opener. Wilson has been selected by the Jets with the No. 2 overall pick in 2021.
In early August, before Wilson’s surgery, the head coach Robert Saleh turned his head when he said he believed 37-year-old Flacco was still ” a starting midfielder in this tournament. ”
Wilson missed four games of the 2021 campaign due to a knee injury, making way for a rotating group of signal callers, including Flacco, Mike White and Josh Johnson. In two games (one to start) last year, Flacco won 27 for 42 with 338 yards of passing, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
