NEW YORK (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is doubtful to play Monday because of an injured shoulder, with Joe Flacco expected to start in his place against the New England Patriots.
Coach Adam Gase said Saturday that Darnold would sit out practice after the quarterback had some issues throwing Friday.
“Unless something strange happens, Joe will be the starter for this game on Monday,” Gase said.
Darnold sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder against Denver on Oct. 1 and missed two games. He reinjured it last Sunday at Kansas City when he took a hard hit, but he remained in the game.
