Jets' Sam Darnold Has 'Full Confidence' He'll Return from Mono in Week 5

It seems the 0-2 New York Jets just need to get through one more game without starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who has mononucleosis.

"I have full confidence that I'll be ready for the Eagles game," Darnold told reporters Wednesday. "I'm not gonna promise anything cuz I don't know where exactly this mono thing is going, but hopefully—that's the goal. That's the goal that the doctors have set, and that's the goal that I've set the game to be back for."

The Jets travel to Philadelphia in Week 5 on Oct.
