Mission impossible: Sam Darnold ready to return to Jets' awful offense

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Good news for the New York Jets: Barring a setback in practice, Sam Darnold should be back in the lineup for next Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Bad news: Their prized rookie appears ready to return.

Do they really want to expose Darnold to this mess?

That's a joke, of course. After sitting out three games with a strained foot, the young quarterback needs the work as he prepares to wind up his first season. A strong finish would uplift this downtrodden organization -- kind of -- but it's unrealistic to expect much, considering the dire state of the offense.
