New York Jets HC Adam Gase likes the odds of Sam Darnold playing in Week 5

Sam Darnold on the field this Sunday? It’s not confirmed, but it’s apparently not impossible. The New York Jets second-year quarterback has been out with mononucleosis since the days leading up to their Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns. However, he could come back sooner than some people originally thought.

Darnold was cleared for practice this week, but not for contact drills. Despite the limitations, the odds of him playing are improving, according to Adam Gase.

Coach Gase speaks to the media before Wednesday's practice of Eagles week.
