Jets Name Quarterback Mike White Starter for Sunday vs. Bills

Jets backup quarterback Mike White made his first career start against the Bengals on Oct. 31 and will start again this Sunday against the AFC East-leading Bills.

White threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns in the Jets' 34–31 upset of the Bengals two weeks ago. Last Thursday against the Colts, he threw for 95 yards and an early touchdown before leaving the game with a forearm injury.

He and rookie Zach Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and the team's regular starter, were both active at practice this week. Wilson suffered a sprained PCL during the team's Week 7 blowout loss to the Patriots.
