FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—Members of the 2002 NFL Draft have come and gone. Josh McCown, however, has soldiered on.
McCown, 39, has returned to the New York spotlight in the wake of Sam Darnold’s injury, as the touted rookie might miss the New York Jets’ Sunday showdown against the Buffalo Bills (1:00 p.m. ET, CBS).
Darnold’s injury, revealed to be a foot strain, leaves McCown as the next man up, a position the 15-year NFL veteran is all too familiar with. Injured throwers relieved by McCown in the past include Kurt Warner, Jay Cutler, and Robert Griffin III.
