Josh McCown initially wouldn’t commit to returning to football again after breaking his hand last December. Now he’s going to try to help fix the Jets offense.
Sam Darnold’s strained foot opened the door for the player his teammates affectionately refer to as “Uncle Josh” to start at least one more NFL game.
The Jets had no intention of benching the struggling Darnold. But going from the young rookie to old reliable could be just the spark the Jets’ offense needs to end a three-game losing streak Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
