US EditionPanthers’ Hubbard, Coker, Sanders set to return from injuries against the New York Jets
Steve Wilks rejects the idea of a revenge game despite facing his former team, focusing instead on building defensive consistency for the struggling Jets.
- On Thursday, October 16, Steve Wilks, the New York Jets defensive coordinator, rejected the revenge-game angle, saying `To be quite honestly, no,` ahead of Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
- Wilks' Panthers tenure included multiple roles and a return as defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach, then interim head coach after Matt Rhule's firing, leading the team to a 6-6 finish in 12 games.
- Born and raised in Charlotte, Wilks, 56, played a season for the Charlotte Rage before building a 30-year NFL coaching career.
- With the Jets sitting 0-6, Wilks says the schedule lightens over the next month with games against Bryce Young, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel, offering short-term relief.
- Carolina's active-list moves ahead of Sunday include Chuba Hubbard returning after missing two games and Ja'Tavion Sanders coming back from a high ankle sprain, with Hubbard practicing fully on Friday.
