It doesn’t appear likely that the New York Jets will be making a move for Jimmy Garoppolo.
After second-year quarterback Zach Wilson injured his knee in preseason Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, it appeared at first that New York could be without their starter for an extended period of time. But then, the initial prognosis indicated a possible recovery time of anywhere from two to four weeks.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported Tuesday afternoon, citing a source, that Wilson’s arthroscopic knee surgery was a success and that there were no surprises from the initial prognosis, which reaffirmed the two- to four-week timeline.
Following the report of Wilson’s successful surgery, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that New York is not intent on making a move for Garoppolo.
If the two- to four-week timeline is accurate and Wilson is back on the field for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens or shortly thereafter, New York likely won’t need to make a move for Garoppolo with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco serving as a capable backup for the time being.

For now, it appears that the 49ers are down one more potential suitor for Garoppolo.
