FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold feels safe, even behind an offensive line that allowed 10 sacks last week.
Darnold, who returns to the lineup after a four-week bout with mononucleosis, insisted Thursday that he's not concerned about potential complications arising from a blow to his previously enlarged spleen.
"When I'm out there playing, I'm not worried about guys hitting me or anything," he said. "I'm trusting the guys up front to do their thing and I'm trusting the receivers to get open when it's time to pass the ball.
