FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After two days of speculation and palace intrigue, the New York Jets announced Wednesday they will start Zach Wilson at quarterback on Sunday against the Houston Texans -- only two weeks after he was benched and demoted to third string.
Coach Robert Saleh opted for Wilson -- the No. 2 overall pick in 2021 -- over Trevor Siemian, who replaced an ineffective Tim Boyle in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Boyle was removed from the equation on Tuesday, when he was abruptly released by the team after two poor starts.
"Zach gives us the best chance to win," Saleh said.
