Jets

Jets HC Robert Saleh said first-round QB Zach Wilson needs to continue working to improve his accuracy.

“It’s something he has to improve on — I’m not going to hide from that — but it’s not something that we’re concerned about,” Saleh said, via ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “[It’s] just something that we have to keep working on.”

Wilson mentioned his inaccuracy is frustrating but he’s confident it will get better.

“Yeah, I worked on it a lot and that’s why I was frustrated, I think, missing some easy ones,” Wilson said. “That’s never been an issue for me, obviously, and I think part of it’s going to be just getting used to this NFL game. Probably some of the routes that we’re doing I didn’t do a lot in college. That’s not making an excuse at all, but I’ve got to get better at being able to get those guys a nice, accurate ball over the line. … It’s frustrating when I didn’t hit on some of those.”

Patriots

Colts LB Bobby Okereke said the defense has to focus on the Patriots running game this week.

“They’ve got mixes in there: they run Wham, trap, counter, power,” Okereke said, via Joel A. Erickson. “For me and the linebackers, it’s about having our eyes right, playing downhill and being the more aggressive, physical team. That’s a pride point for us…We’re just ready to attack the run and make them one-dimensional.”
