New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, who practiced Wednesday for the first time in nearly three weeks, will return to his starting role against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, coach Adam Gase said Friday.
Darnold has missed two straight games, and four of the past six, because of a sprained AC joint that occurred Oct. 1 against the Denver Broncos.
Joe Flacco was 0-4 as the replacement starter, with six touchdown passes and three interceptions, including a pick-six in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
