The New York Jets are signing quarterback David Fales to back up Luke Falk for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Jets (0-2) have been left to scramble at the quarterback position with starter Sam Darnold sidelined with mononucleosis. He missed Monday's 23-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns and will miss Sunday's game at New England as well. He said Tuesday during his weekly spot on ESPN New York's The Michael Kay Show that he is feeling better and his goal is to return for the Jets' Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
