The New York Jets fan base was hit with a bombshell last week that quarterback Sam Darnold would be out with mono at least vs the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 on Monday Night Football, but possibly even longer.
After the initial doom and gloom of the news, Jets head coach Adam Gase gave some positivity to the team’s fan base.
When he was asked whether or not placing Darnold on IR was a possibility he immediately said, ‘no, he won’t be out for that long.’
Gase also said that the mono DID NOT affect his Week 1 performance and everything involved with the disease happened over the following days.
