Robert Saleh insisted Zach Wilson's career with the New York Jets was not over when he benched the 2021 first-round pick last month. Now, Saleh and the Jets are turning to Wilson to help keep their playoff hopes alive.
Saleh told reporters Friday that Wilson will start Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions after team doctors would not clear Mike White to play because of internal injuries he suffered last week.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said the last-minute change does not impact his team's game plan.
"I mean, we kind of had an idea, so we’re ready," Campbell said.
