FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Sam Darnold looks forward to getting to work with new starting center Ryan Kalil, but it may be a little while before they’re on the field together.
Kalil, who came out of retirement to join the Jets, won’t practice with the team right away, head coach Adam Gase said Friday. The 34-year-old Kalil has had some major injuries over the last few years, and hadn’t been training necessarily to play in the NFL.
It sounds as if the Jets are going to be cautious with Kalil, but they believe he’ll be worth the wait.
