FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Sam Darnold was back in uniform, stretching and warming up at the start of practice. But when individual drills and team drills began, Darnold stood and watched Josh McCown and Davis Webb throw.
The Jets still have a few practices before they face the Patriots Sunday at MetLife Stadium. But it doesn’t seem likely that Darnold, who suffered a strained foot in the Jets’ Nov. 4 loss in Miami, will be able to play. His first time facing a Bill Belichick-coached team and being on the same field as Tom Brady may have to wait until the Jets’ regular-season finale.
