The Jets team doctors will not clear QB Mike White from his rib injury for contact, and therefore, Zach Wilson will start on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, head coach Robert Saleh said Friday.
White told reporters on Thursday that there was "no doubt" he would start in Week 15, despite being limited in practice with the injury he suffered last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Saleh said Friday that White feels fine and isn't in pain, but it’s a “contact issue” that is keeping him out of the game.
