Mike White to remain New York Jets' starting QB against Buffalo Bills

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets are sticking with fan favorite Mike White at quarterback for at least another week.

With a choice between White and highly touted rookie Zach Wilson, who is returning from a knee injury, coach Robert Saleh decided to roll with the hot hand. Saleh, who made the announcement on Wednesday, also cited Wilson's injury as a factor in the decision.

Joe Flacco, acquired by the Jets from the Philadelphia Eagles after Wilson's injury, is likely to be active for the first time, as the Jets' backup to White on Sunday, Saleh said.
