While Wilson was able to return to the game, concerns over non-contact injuries on turf like MetLife's run high.
MetLife Stadium's turf has received plenty of criticism this year, especially after Aaron Rodgers's injury just four plays into his Jets tenure.
NFL players have loudly voiced their preference for grass fields, with Wilson being the latest to join their cause.
