Given how badly Sam Darnold has been hit over the last several weeks, especially during Sunday’s brutal showing in a 13-6 debacle against the Dolphins, maybe it’s not the worst thing that the Jets’ rookie quarterback is almost certain to take a seat for this week’s game against the Bills.
The preference, of course, would be to let Darnold play his way through his rookie season in hopes of coming out the other end a more capable quarterback. But he can’t go because of a foot injury he suffered against the Dolphins – most likely on an early fourth-quarter sack, one of four takedowns against Miami’s swarming defense.
