Sam Darnold Improving
5 years agoNew York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) can start doing cardio but has yet to be medically cleared from his bout with mononucleosis. He will undergo further testing, and the quarterback said the next step is for his spleen enlargement to go down. Darnold will visit with doctors next Monday during the team's bye week, but the goal is to still have him return in Week 5 to face the Eagles. New York's offense was pitiful, as expected, under third-stringer Luke Falk in Week 3 against the Patriots. For all of the Jets weapons, including Le'Veon Bell, getting Darnold back as soon as possible is key. Darnold will be a QB2 whenever he returns.
