Sam Darnold doesn't practice Monday as Jets return from bye

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Sam Darnold’s first experience with snow as a Jet was very much like his team’s offense: very little forward progress.

Darnold planned a trip to New York City last Thursday afternoon and travelled about five miles in 2 ½ hours.

“It didn’t go so well,” the Southern California native said Monday.

Welcome to life in this area and as a Jet.

Darnold eventually made it to Manhattan – by train – and got to relax, spend time with friends and get away from football for a few days. The bye week proved to be a much-needed respite for the rookie quarterback.
