New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday and avoided a serious knee injury, a source told ESPN, but the issue probably still means some down time.

A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Wilson hyperextended his knee and is expected to miss a couple of weeks.

Wilson was hurt late in Sunday’s 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in London. The injury apparently happened on the Jets’ next-to-last play, an incomplete pass to Wilson in which he landed awkwardly. He wasn’t on the field for the final play.

There’s some thought that Wilson could return after the bye week. The Jets (0-6) have two games before their bye — Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and Oct. 26 at the Cincinnati Bengals. New York returns from its bye to host the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 9.

There was a sense of relief that the injury isn’t season-ending, but it’s still a blow to the Jets, who failed to score a touchdown and recorded minus-10 net passing yards — a franchise low — in the loss to the Broncos.
