FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Well didn’t this just get interesting?
Two days after indicating that No. 2 overall draft pick Zach Wilson would resume as the Jets’ starting quarterback once his knee was sufficiently healed from a PCL injury, coach Robert Saleh reversed course and left the door open for Mike White to keep the job for at least a while longer.
Good for Saleh.
While the rookie coach is now wading into murky waters with his rookie quarterback, opening things up into more of a competition will ultimately be beneficial for the team.
