Dolphins to face Jets backup QB Joe Flacco with starter Sam Darnold still recovering from his injury

NEW YORK — Joe Flacco will get his second straight start at quarterback for the New York Jets in place of the injured Sam Darnold.

Coach Adam Gase confirmed Wednesday that the 35-year-old Flacco would be under center Sunday at Miami against the Dolphins (2-3). That comes after Darnold missed last week’s game against Arizona with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.

Gase said Darnold, who was injured in the Jets' 37-28 loss to Denver on Oct. 1, would not practice Wednesday. Darnold left the game against the Broncos for a few plays but returned and finished the game.
