According to The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt, New York Jets backup quarterback Joe Flacco, who is filling in for injured starter Zach Wilson, has been “on fire” in recent practices. Flacco has reportedly demonstrated a strong command of the offense while earning praise from New York’s receivers.
On Tuesday, Rosenblatt said Flacco “completed 14 of 17 passes, with four touchdowns, all of them in the red zone – an area in which Wilson had struggled at times in training camp.”
Wilson recently underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus and remains questionable for Week 1.
