Jets' Darnold feeling better; goal is Week 5 return

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold said Tuesday he's feeling a lot better, and the goal is for him to be back from his bout with mononucleosis for Week 5 against the Eagles in Philadelphia.

Darnold, speaking on ESPN New York's The Michael Kay Show, said he can't do anything but rest while he waits.

Darnold told Kay that he did not feel 100 percent for the season-opening loss to the Bills and had trouble sleeping the night before because he was having cold sweats. He said he wasn't sure how he got mono.
