FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Jets are preparing for Sam Darnold to play Sunday against the Eagles. It depends on his next test.
Darnold took most of the first-team reps in practice Wednesday. It was expected to be the same Thursday. Darnold, who has missed the last two games with mono, has not been cleared for contact. He will undergo tests on Friday to see if his enlarged spleen has decreased enough to where he can play.
