NY Jets’ quarterback Sam Darnold will miss yet another week and Joe Flacco will start again.

The NY Jets had hoped that the 2020 season could be used to evaluate young quarterback Sam Darnold. Unfortunately, that plan has been temporarily derailed by a nagging shoulder injury.

Darnold sat out last week while dealing with a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder and he’s set to miss a second consecutive week, per his head coach.

Adam Gase spoke to reporters on Wednesday in a highly-anticipated press conference following the release of star running back Le’Veon Bell.
