FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Mike White will make his first NFL start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh confirmed Wednesday. The status of their newest backup, Joe Flacco, is uncertain.
Flacco, acquired Monday in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, wasn't at practice Wednesday. He was excused for a personal reason, won't report to the facility until Friday and might be inactive for Sunday's game. He's participating in meetings virtually, according to the Jets, who said they knew about Flacco's personal issue when the trade was made.
