FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Josh McCown and Davis Webb took turns throwing to receivers running one-on-none patterns to the end zone at the start of practice Friday, and Sam Darnold stood there watching the other Jets quarterbacks.
What seemed obvious Thursday when Darnold didn’t practice for the second straight day became official. After the rookie didn’t practice again for Sunday’s game against the 7-3 Patriots at MetLife Stadium, he was declared out for the second straight time due to his strained right foot.
So the 39-year-old McCown will try to do better against the nine-time defending AFC East champs than he did in the last game before the bye.
