New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is questionab­le to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday because of an ailing right ankle. Wilkerson didn’t practice Friday after being limited Thursday. Coach Todd Bowles says Wilkerson didn’t have a setback, but was “more sore than normal” and could be a game-time decision. Bowles added “it’s possible” Wilkerson will not play. Wilkerson had a career-high 12 sacks last season before breaking his right fibula in the regular-season finale at Buffalo. He received a five-year, $86 million deal in July and worked his way back from the injury to be ready for the season opener, in which he had 1 ½ sacks. Wilkerson has been mostly quiet since, and said in an interview with Newsday that his foot has been bothering him “for a couple weeks.”
