The Jets are expected to sign free agent quarterback David Fales to be the backup to Luke Falk for Sunday’s game against New England, a league source confirmed.
Fales has very little NFL experience – he’s played in three games. But he has worked with Adam Gase in Miami. The Jets coach was looking for someone who knew his system so he could step in if anything happens to Falk. Fales was in training camp with the Detroit Lions this summer.
The Jets lost Sam Darnold to mononucleosis last week, and his backup Trevor Siemian suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Monday’s loss to the Browns.
