New York Jets decide to play it safe with Sam Darnold in Week 5

The New York Jets have decided to wait at least another week with their quarterback Sam Darnold.

On Friday morning the news leaked that Darnold had been ruled out due to mono for the Week 5 road trip vs the Philadelphia Eagles.

This means Luke Falk will get his second career start and the team has re-signed David Fales to be the No. 2 quarterback vs the Eagles, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

This is still somewhat surprising considering Darnold received the majority of the first-team reps this weekend.
