Jets make Josh Johnson QB2 for Thursday, activate Hamsah Nasirildeen

Mike White will continue what’s supposed to be a temporary tenure as the Jets’ starting quarterback Thursday night. Rookie Zach Wilson is still out with a PCL sprain so White notches a second straight start against the Colts.

While the Jets didn’t have much of a decision to make on who would start for them against Indy, the staff did need to choose White’s backup. Would it be Josh Johnson or Joe Flacco, who they recently acquired from the Eagles in a trade?

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, the team has decided on the former.
