FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Adam Gase isn’t concerned about Sam Darnold’s life being in danger when he plays his first game in more than a month on Sunday.

Darnold was medically cleared for contact Tuesday from his bout with mono. Darnold has felt well enough to play, but his spleen was enlarged and needed to be reduced before he could return to full football activities.

“We should be good,” Gase said Thursday morning.
