Mike White Won't Play In Week 15
2 years agoNew York Jets doctors will not clear quarterback Mike White (ribs) for contact before the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, paving the way for second-year QB Zach Wilson to start. White wanted to play and has practiced this week, but team doctors are not signing off on it. The 27-year-old has thrown for over 300 yards in two of his three starts since the Jets benched Wilson, but he'll have to sit out at least this week while he recovers. Unless Wilson absolutely goes off and looks like a new QB, it's likely the Jets will go back to White when he's cleared. Even though the matchup against Detroit's defense is nice, Wilson should be viewed as a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes. It remains to be seen if White will get cleared in time for next Thursday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.
