New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had been sidelined with mononucleosis since week two. Originally backup Trevor Siemian was set to fill his role but after suffering a season-ending injury, practice squad quarterback Luke Falk was QB1 during that time.
However, things are looking up for the New York Jets. Darnold has finally overcome the illness and is set to play this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

“Anytime your starting quarterback comes back, guys are going to be excited,” said head coach Adam Gase.
