FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Sam Darnold received the bulk of the reps Tuesday for the second straight practice, as the Jets continued to try to get the rookie quarterback as much experience as possible.
That's expected to continue Friday night when the Jets open the preseason against the Falcons. Todd Bowles said he would decide after the four exhibition games who would be the Week 1 starter.
It’s an open competition among Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and Darnold. But Darnold is going to get the chance to prove himself in practice and in the preseason.
On Tuesday he took 45 snaps – as many as Bridgewater (30) and McCown (15) combined.
