Former Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg may be on the way to playing himself out of another job.
Hackenberg, who plays for Memphis in the AAF, was benched by coach Mike Singletary in the second half after throwing two interceptions in the Express’ 21-17 loss to the 3-0 Orlando Apollos on Saturday night at Orlando’s Spectrum Stadium.
With Memphis trailing 9-0 at the half, Hackenberg was replaced by Zach Mettenberger, who almost led the Express (0-3) to a comeback victory. The former LSU quarterback promptly led the Express on a nine-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Devin Lucien.
