It appears that the strain suffered by Jets quarterback Sam Darnold a couple of weeks ago is one of the worst strains in recent memory, or the Jets downplayed a more serious injury to save face after head coach Todd Bowles didn’t pull his injured center, Spencer Long, who was snapping the football all over the field, exposing Darnold to unnecessary hits just a couple of weeks ago.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Darnold could return next week against the Tennesee Titans, but it’s more likely that it’ll be another two weeks of rest for Darnold before he returns against the Buffalo Bills in week 14.
