Former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson left the New York Jets’ game on Sunday after taking a big hit against the New England Patriots.

Early in the third quarter, the Jets announced he is out for the game with a knee injury. The CBS television broadcast of the game reported its his right knee that was injured.

Wilson exited the game just over three minutes into the second quarter with the Jets trailing 17-0 after he took a hit from the Patriots’ Matt Judon on a long pass downfield. The result of the play was a defensive pass interference, and Mike White replaced Wilson at QB, throwing a touchdown to end the drive.
