The Jets have a huge game on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to get themselves back on track. They’ll have to do so without quarterback Mike White. Doctors wouldn’t clear him for contact with his injured ribs before the weekend, so Zach Wilson gets his opportunity to steer New York’s offense once again.
Wilson has been sidelined for three weeks while White took over as QB1. It’s not like he was just knocked down one peg on the depth chart, either. Wilson was the QB3 and didn’t even dress for the past three weeks. Head coach Robert Saleh elevated the 2021 second-overall pick to QB2 earlier this week.
