suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles. Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 157 yards as the Jets' offense failed to score a touchdown until the final minutes of the team's 15-10 loss.
Wilson's performance led to calls for the Jets to bench him and find a new quarterback after the No. 2 overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft has continued to struggle. However, Jets coach Robert Saleh stated the team still plans to roll with Wilson as their starting quarterback."He's our unquestioned quarterback, guys," Saleh told reporters on Monday.
"As long as he continues to show improvement — and I know it's not, from a box score standpoint, showing — he's going to be our quarterback."Siemian, 31, has played for seven teams since theselected him in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft, including the Jets, who he played for in 2019. Siemian was the Broncos' starting quarterback for the majority of the 2016 and 2017 seasons, but has mostly served as a backup since then.
