Last month, the New York Jets suffered one of their most significant losses of the season when their franchise quarterback, Sam Darnold, suddenly came up with a sickness. At the time, Darnold would be ruled out indefinitely, and re-evaluated during the fifth week of the season.
Well, here we are in week five, and Darnold has been able to return to the team’s practice facility as they gear up for a game with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now the big question is; will he actually play? At first, it felt like a long shot considering he was just being re-evaluated this week.
