Zach Wilson is back in the starting lineup.
Nearly a month after his benching, the former No. 2 overall pick will start for the Jets this Sunday against the Lions. Mike White, who had started the last three games in place of Wilson, was not cleared to play after sustaining a rib injury in last Sunday’s loss to Buffalo.
Wilson will now have a daunting task on his hands. After being inactive for three straight games, sitting on the sideline in street clothes, the kid must now lead an offense that needs to keep up with a high-powered Lions offense.
