FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets, whose slim playoff hopes received a boost over the weekend, will have quarterback Mike White back in the lineup for Sunday's pivotal road game against the Seattle Seahawks.
White, who fractured at least two ribs in a Dec. 11 hit by Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano, was cleared for contact Monday by doctors, coach Robert Saleh said Monday.
White missed the past two games -- both losses -- because doctors cleared him to only practice, not play.
Joe Flacco will be White's backup and Zach Wilson will be inactive, Saleh said.
