FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Trevor Siemian’s phone rang late Wednesday night and he knew something was up.
It was Adam Gase calling, and the New York Jets’ backup quarterback realized he might now suddenly be the starter — for this week, and likely several more as Sam Darnold recovers from mononucleosis.
“He said they were trying to figure out what was going on with Sam,” Siemian recalled, “but to be ready.”
Well, ready or not, it’s Siemian’s show as the Jets (0-1) take on Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns (0-1) on Monday night.
