Jets promote Zach Wilson to backup QB, push Joe Flacco to No. 3 as Mike White expected to start

Zach Wilson is back on the game day roster.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday that Wilson, who had been the team's No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart, has been promoted to backup QB. Veteran Joe Flacco, who had been the backup for the last few games, is being pushed down to No. 3.

"Zach's been doing a great job," Saleh said. "He's been deliberate in his approach over the last three weeks. He's been holding himself accountable with regards to how he wants to attack practice, how he's been performing in practice.
