Jets expected to bench embattled QB Zach Wilson

Zach Wilson has played — and talked — his way onto the bench.

The Jets will bench the quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Bears, according to ESPN. Zane FloresThe move comes two days after head coach Robert Saleh refused to commit to Wilson following a brutal outing — both on the field and in the postgame press conference — in the Jets’ devastating 10-3 loss at the Patriots last Sunday.

It is not clear yet whether Joe Flacco or Mike White will start against Chicago. Flacco started the Jets’ first three games this season when Wilson was injured.
