New York Jets team doctors are not clearing quarterback Mike White for contact ahead of Sunday's game, meaning Zach Wilson will get the start against the Detroit Lions, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
White suffered an unspecified rib injury during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He has wanted to play and practiced, but Jets doctors are not signing off to let him on the field, sources said.
Therefore, Wilson, who has been inactive the past three weeks after being benched, is back as the Jets starter as they look to snap a two-game losing streak and keep their playoff hopes on track.
