NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Sam Darnold will miss his third straight game due to a foot injury.
The Jets deactivated their rookie quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Titans due to a strained right foot he suffered in a loss to Miami on Nov. 4. Veteran Josh McCown got the start for the third straight game.
Darnold was limited in practice all week, so this move is not entirely a surprise. McCown also was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but he practiced in full Friday. Todd Bowles said he knew who would be starting but he wouldn’t reveal it until Sunday.
