FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Quarterback Zach Wilson will be in uniform Sunday for the first time in four weeks -- as the New York Jets' backup.
Wilson, benched Nov. 23 in favor of Mike White, will replace Joe Flacco as the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's pivotal game against the Detroit Lions at MetLife Stadium.
The decision by coach Robert Saleh, which he announced Wednesday, is significant because White is dealing with a rib injury. He's expected to start the game, Saleh said, though his practice time was limited on Wednesday.
