Jets star receiver Garrett Wilson only missed two games due to a knee injury suffered in Week 6, but his welcomed return on Sunday against the Browns wasn't painless.

After a quiet first half, in which Wilson failed to record a single catch, the fourth-year wideout reaggravate his right knee while diving for a deep ball from Justin Fields midway through the third quarter. 

Wilson limped off the field under his own power and was initially listed as questionable to return, but the Jets ultimately ruled him out during the closing minutes of their 27-20 win over the Browns.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed after the game that it was the same knee bothering Wilson, but he didn't speak on the severity of the injury.

One could argue that Wilson remained on the sideline out of an abundance of caution, since the Jets were attacking the Browns via the run with relative ease on wet MetLife Stadium turf as rain fell throughout the afternoon.

At the time of his injury, Wilson had logged a season-low three targets. The former first-round pick entered Sunday with 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns across six games this season.

Wilson won't have much time to rest and recover if he intends on suiting up in Week 11. The Jets have a short week ahead, as a road meeting with the division-rival Patriots awaits them on Thursday night.
