Sam Darnold takes the snap from Josh Andrews, fakes a handoff to Kalen Ballage, and surveys the field. Chris Hogan and Braxton Berrios are covered, but Josh Malone has a step on his man and Darnold passes it to him.
Remarkably, this could happen on Sunday with these very names involved when the Jets play at Indianapolis and try to avoid starting off 0-3 for the second consecutive season under beleaguered coach Adam Gase.
The Jets are so banged up on offense that Darnold could be behind two backup offensive linemen and might be handing off or throwing the football to as many as six players who either weren’t on the team at the start of camp or had to be elevated from the practice squad due to injuries.
