It was something the Jets can be thankful for: The sight of Sam Darnold on the practice field Wednesday with a helmet on his head. He did stretching exercises and agility drills while the media was able to observe the early minutes of practice. Apparently, he didn’t do much else, though, as he was listed as “Did Not Practice” on the injury report.
Todd Bowles was coy when asked if Darnold might be able to start Sunday’s game against the Patriots at Met Life Stadium.
“He’s progressing along. We’ll see how he is by Friday,” was all the head coach would say.
