FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Sam Darnold has another first in his NFL career.
The New York Jets rookie quarterback appeared on the team’s injury report Wednesday with his right elbow listed as the culprit.
Now breathe, Jets fans. Darnold is totally OK.
“It’s nothing crazy,” Darnold said. “I felt fine throwing today.”
He banged up the elbow while making a linebacker-style tackle of Indianapolis’ Malik Hooker on his interception in the first quarter of New York’s 42-34 win last Sunday.
“I just made a tackle, and quarterbacks don’t usually make tackles,” Darnold said.
