Jets coach playing coy regarding opener plan for quarterbacks

Todd Bowles played coy Wednesday when asked what his deployment plan for his quarterbacks would be in Friday’s preseason opener against the Falcons.

“Everybody on that field dressed better be ready to play,” Bowles said.

Earlier, Bowles said on ESPN Radio all three quarterbacks would play in the game. The most likely scenario is Josh McCown starting and playing a series or two, then Teddy Bridgewater playing the rest of the first half and rookie Sam Darnold getting the second half.

The Jets were in game-prep mode so it was tough to evaluate the quarterbacks. Darnold took the most snaps of the practice (26), an indication he will probably play the most.
