Jets' Robert Saleh faces tricky QB decision, but correct call is Mike White

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. White hot: If Mike White can grip it, let him rip it.

It's a sticky quarterback decision, with so many layers, but the right call for coach Robert Saleh is to start White next Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Make no mistake, the organization is firmly committed to rookie Zach Wilson, and his development is Priority No. 1 in 2021, but the risk-reward factor points to White for another week.

Wilson, two weeks removed from a second-degree PCL sprain in his right knee, is expected to practice this week, but it makes sense to take a conservative approach with such an important piece to their future.
