FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Desperate for a victory, the winless New York Jets are hoping quarterback Sam Darnold can return to the lineup this week and provide a much-needed spark.
On Wednesday, Darnold practiced for the first time in nearly three weeks, testing his injured right shoulder with the goal of starting Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.
Darnold was scheduled to do "quite a bit" in practice, according to coach Adam Gase, who said the third-year quarterback will participate in individual and team periods. Gase said the plan was to "eliminate unnecessary throwing" during other periods in practice.
