New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is having a strong season, he is second on the team (behind Quinton Coples) in sacks with 5.\u00a0 He played every defensive snap against the Chargers last Sunday and really seems to be improving each week.\u00a0 It was reported on Wednesday that Wilkerson did sustain a concussion during the Chargers game, but it wasn’t diagnosed until after the game was over.<\/p>\n
Rex Ryan was asked how Wilkerson got a concussion after playing every snap and he responded:<\/p>\n
That\u2019s interesting because obviously, at the end of the game, that was (when it happened). It was kind of news to me that he has a concussion. Hopefully he\u2019ll be able to play.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rex was also asked…<\/p>\n
On when Wilkerson was tested for a concussion\u2026<\/b>
\nI think it was after the game. I\u2019m not 100 percent sure. But I know I wasn\u2019t aware of it until yesterday.<\/p>\nOn how much he\u2019s concerned that Wilkerson won\u2019t play on Sunday\u2026<\/b>
\nThat would be a big concern without question because I think Mo\u2019s one of the best interior linemen in the league. Hopefully, he\u2019ll get that kind of respect when the Pro Bowl voting comes out. Again, forget all that, I\u2019d like for Mo to play but I am concerned with the fact that he can\u2019t practice today.<\/p>\nOn if the knee injury is also keeping him out of practice today\u2026<\/b>
\nWell, it\u2019s (listed as a) concussion and knee (on the injury report), so I\u2019m not sure. But take your choice, he\u2019s not practicing.<\/p>\n
