The ankle injury suffered by defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson in Sunday’s game against the Redskins was serious enough he had a medical procedure done before leaving on a flight to Green Bay. Wilkerson had signed a “prove-it” contract in the off-season while trying to return to his previous status as a defensive star. He totaled 36-and-a-half sacks during a five-year period with the New York Jets, but his production slipped dramatically in the last two years due to injuries. The ankle problem is bad enough, it is considered to be a threat to his career. He will miss the rest of the 2018 season.
