No one could have possibly anticipated the nightmare campaign that was the 2019 New York Jets season.
The theme was oddities with a mononucleosis diagnosis, Sam Darnold seeing “ghosts” during a primetime broadcast, and an alarming amount of injuries.
One of those injuries was suffered by Darnold back in Week 8 vs the Jacksonville Jaguars and he played through it. Earlier this week he had offseason thumb surgery on his left (non-throwing) hand to repair it.
It’s the final chapter of a largely forgettable season for the second-year passer.
It is considered a minor procedure and isn’t expected to cause Darnold to miss any time during the offseason.
