Joe Flacco to start for Jets vs. Dolphins, source confirms

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – It won’t be Zach Wilson or Mike White starting for the Jets on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. They’re giving the ball to veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, a league source said Wednesday.

Wilson was expected to regain his starting job, but his knee apparently isn’t fully healthy. Wilson went through a full practice Friday and had a lengthy workout Sunday. But Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets needed to see how Wilson’s knee responded.

Saleh will announce this decision later this morning before the Jets take the practice field for the first time this week.
