Jets Quarterback Sam Darnold Out vs. Cardinals, Joe Flacco to Start

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will miss the Week 5 matchup against the Cardinals due to a shoulder injury, head coach Adam Gase confirmed on Wednesday.

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco will start in place of Darnold.

Darnold and the Jets have gotten off to a shaky start in 2020. The team enters Week 5 at 0–4. Darnold has thrown just three touchdowns and four interceptions on 138 attempts. The USC product suffered a shoulder sprain in New York's 37-28 loss to the Broncos in Week 4.

Sunday will mark Flacco's first start with the Jets.
