Rex rules out Revis vs. Steelers, Wilson to get nod

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Kyle Wilson, you're up, kid.

New York Jets All-World cornerback Darrelle Revis (pictured right), who sustained a mild concussion last week against the Buffalo Bills, is a no-go for the Jets' road bout with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jets coach Rex Ryan announced the news during his Friday press conference.

Kyle Wilson, the Jets' third cornerback, will step in opposite Antonio Cromartie to guard either Mike Wallace or Antonio Brown.

It's a tall task for Wilson and a huge blow to a defense that is able to do a lot because of the zero-coverage assignments Revis can take on.

"We have a lot of confidence in Kyle Wilson,"  Ryan said, according to NFL.com.

And with that, we're re-working our predictions for this game.
