With Wilson slated to miss 2-to-4 weeks with a PCL injury, per coach Robert Saleh, the Jets have made a trade to acquire Joe Flacco from the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With the Jets 1-5, there's little incentive for the team to rush the No. 2 overall pick in the draft back to action. By acquiring an experienced signal-caller in Flacco, the Jets can proceed deliberately with Wilson. Though it's still possible that the rookie could be back as soon as Week 10 against the Bills, that's a best-case scenario, and if there's any doubt about the soundness of Wilson's knee at that time, expect the Jets to err on the side of caution.
