New York Jets fans got a late holiday gift Monday. Quarterback Mike White was reportedly cleared for contact, and is expected to start for the team in Week 17, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
White missed the last two games after sustaining rib fractures. With White sidelined, the Jets turned back to last year's first-round pick Zach Wilson. It didn't go well. Wilson completed 51 percent of his passes for 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions over the past two weeks. The Jets lost both games.
Wilson experienced yet another low point in Week 16, as he was benched for Chris Streveler during the game.
