“It’ll be good to see him. He’s having a great start to his career. I’m happy for him,” Wilson said Thursday.
Egbuka was only a freshman during Wilson’s junior season at Ohio State, part of an absurdly deep receivers room that included Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Cardinals, Chris Olave of the Saints and Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seahawks.
Those Buckeyes reached the national championship game, losing to Alabama.
“That’s why we chose Ohio State,” the Jets’ No. 1 receiver said. “We all didn’t know it at the time. They built something special over there. All of us were just going about our business, being competitive, being who we are. Five, six years later, I’m looking around the league, and there’s a lot of us. … It was a helluva room.”
Egbuka (hip/groin) hasn’t practiced this week.
Wilson on quarterback and close friend Justin Fields, who has been ruled out this week due to a concussion:
“I saw him this morning, I saw him [Wednesday]. He’s [doing] well.” Wilson said. “That’s a tough guy. I’m sure they had to tell him, ‘Nah, bro, you can’t [play].’ He’s just a warrior. I’m sure he wants to be out there.”
The Jets could be without two starters, wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) and edge rusher Jermaine Johnson (ankle), on Sunday.
Both continued to be out of practice Thursday. Reynolds was inactive in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.
Defensive lineman Jay Tufele (illness) and running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) also remained out.
Safety Tony Adams (hip), cornerback Michael Carter II (shoulder) and linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) were all limited. Adams and Carter didn’t practice Wednesday.
