Sam Darnold is out of his walking boot, but his status for the Patriots’ game is unclear.
Darnold didn’t play in Sunday’s 41-10 debacle against the Bills because of a strained right foot, and now will have an extra week to rest. This is the Jets’ bye week, and they won’t return to practice until next Monday.
Josh McCown started for Darnold on Sunday and would again if the rookie quarterback can’t play Nov. 25 against New England.
“I don’t know,” Todd Bowles said. “It’s still early for him. We’ll see how it goes in the bye week and how it looks next week.
