Will mounting injuries sink Jets' chances of having productive rookie year for Sam Darnold?

Another week, another set of injuries for the Jets.

These injuries are mounting now, and perhaps they will put a significant dent in the Jets' hopes of having a productive rookie season for quarterback Sam Darnold.

The Jets (3-4) visit the Bears this week -- a massive challenge for Darnold and the short-handed Jets offense.

The latest injury blows came in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Free safety Doug Middleton -- already playing in place of the injured Marcus Maye -- might have torn his pectoral muscle, said coach Todd Bowles.
