The New York Jets have made a surprising move to shake up their quarterback depth chart ahead of the Week 6 return of Sam Darnold, releasing Luke Falk.
Falk had started the previous two games for New York during Darnold’s bout with mononucleosis and backup Trevor Siemian‘s season-ending ankle injury in Week 2. Unfortunately, Falk didn’t fare too well in his three outings — although it isn’t as though he was given much of a chance.
Falk faced the unenviable task of making his first career start on the road against the dominant New England Patriots defense.
