Jets' Mike White toughs out loss, solidifies grip on QB job

ORCHARD PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Mike White took a physical beating Sunday in a 20-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills, resulting in a postgame trip to a local hospital for precautionary tests on an injured rib, but he may have solidified the starting job for the remainder of the season.

White, now 1-2 since replacing Zach Wilson, will start again next Sunday against the Detroit Lions -- if healthy.

"Yeah, for sure," said coach Robert Saleh, endorsing White, who rejoined the team for its flight home.
