New York Jets QB Sam Darnold no lock, but ‘hopeful’ for Week 5 return (Report)

The New York Jets are currently engaged in their bye week, but Sam Darnold is doing what he can to remain active.

The franchise quarterback has missed the past two games with mononucleosis but was hopeful about returning for the Jets’ Week 5 visit to Philadelphia. In a conference call last week, Darnold was enthusiastic about the remaining portion of the schedule, even teasing some potential good times ahead for the 0-3 squad.

“We’re going to go out there in practice and guys are going to refresh in this bye week and we’re going to go on a little run here,” Darnold said, per transcripts provided by the Jets.
