New York Jets coach Robert Saleh announced that starting quarterback Mike White (ribs) has not been medically cleared by team doctors and will not be available to play this week against the Detroit Lions.
When White was injured last week against the Buffalo Bills, the Jets turned to Joe Flacco, but his uninspiring play (1 for 3, for 9 passing yards) left New York with a decision as to if he would be their best reserve option moving forward. With White starting the week out as limited, Saleh announced that the team would turn back to Zach Wilson as the team's top reserve quarterback.
