Jets help Sam Darnold prepare for Buffalo cold

By AL IANNAZZONE

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Jets spent the first two days of practice this week outside on their wide-open fields in the frigid cold to help prepare them for what they will face Sunday.

This was for everyone on the team’s benefit, but particularly for Sam Darnold.

The Jets rookie quarterback is expected to return Sunday from a three-game absence with a foot injury.

Darnold grew up in Southern California and played his college ball at USC. That’s a long way from Buffalo, where temperatures are expected to be in the low 30s.
