In defense of\u00a0sports media<\/a>\u00a0mogul Colin Cowherd, talking sports for three hours a day, 200-plus days a year, is incredibly difficult. Even harder yet is keeping thousands of athletes, coaches, news tidbits, and game details straight. That said, Cowherd is supremely confident about everything that comes out of his mouth. So when he got the information surrounding\u00a0New York Jets<\/a>\u00a0quarterback<\/a>\u00a0Zach Wilson\u2019s injury so wrong, it\u2019s pretty funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colin Cowherd was wrong about several details of the Zach Wilson injury<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New York\u00a0Jets quarterback Zach Wilson<\/a>\u00a0had a scary preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. During a scramble with 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the second-year signal-caller went down with a non-contact injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilson and the Jets dodged a bullet after the game with a best-case scenario diagnosis of the injury. The 2021 No. 2 overall pick will have arthroscopic surgery on a torn meniscus, and recovering from that procedure and a bone bruise will cost the QB two to four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zach Wilson injury was obviously a hot topic of conversation on sports talk shows on Monday. \u00a0Colin Cowherd<\/a>\u00a0was one of the personalities to weigh in on\u00a0The Herd with Colin Cowherd<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While getting his point across that he\u2019s not worried about Wilson in the long term because he is young and athletic, Cowherd shared some dubious facts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, he noted that New York City has the best doctors on the East Coast. So, he\u2019s not worried about the procedure. And Cowherd said Wilson is young and healthy with no injury history. So, he\u2019s not concerned about the QB\u2019s body healing either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with these two takes is that Wilson is having surgery in Los Angeles, per ESPN<\/a>, and he also missed four games last season with an injury to the same right knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
