Two First-Round Draft Picks Limited at Jets' Thursday Practice

There were no status changes on Thursday for New York Jets' receiver Garrett Wilson and defensive end Will McDonald.

Both players are dealing with minor injuries that limited their practice participation for the second day in a row. Wilson is officially listed with an elbow issue while McDonald has an ankle injury. 

"Limited" is defined as less than 100 percent of the player's normal repetitions. Wednesday's practice was a walkthrough, meaning participation status is only an estimation.

Wilson, the No. 10 overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, temporarily left the Jets' road game in Las Vegas to have his right arm examined on the sideline. When he eventually reentered, the Jets' WR1 was wearing a white sleeve that appeared to feature extra padding in the elbow area. The reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year finished with a game-high 93 receiving yards on nine catches.

McDonald initially landed on the injury report last Friday prior to the Las Vegas trip. 

"He's dealing with an ankle. He finished practice yesterday, but it popped up this morning," said Jets' head coach Robert Saleh last week.

The first-round rookie was a gameday inactive against the Raiders.

Offensive tackle Billy Turner, linebacker Chazz Surratt and special teamer Sam Eguavoen were non-participants once again on Thursday in Florham Park.

The Jets (4-5) will visit the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills (5-5) on November 19 at 4:25 pm ET on CBS.
