QB Zach Wilson returns for struggling New York Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' quarterback carousel is spinning again.

Rookie Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick, has been sidelined the past four games with a sprained knee but will return Sunday to start against the Houston Texans, coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday.

Meanwhile, sources told Adam Schefter that quarterback Mike White has tested positive for COVID-19 and that fellow QB Joe Flacco was deemed a close contact. Both were put on the COVID list.

Josh Johnson is being promoted from the practice squad to back up Wilson.
