Jets’ Zach Wilson to Start vs. Jaguars, Mike White Not Medically Cleared

Jets coach Robert Saleh officially ruled out quarterback Mike White for Thursday night’s game vs. the Jaguars as he has still not been medically cleared for contact from his fractured rib.

In his place, Zach Wilson will start in the primetime game.

White hasn’t played since the 20–12 loss to the Bills on Dec. 11. In that game, he left multiple times after taking hard hits, but returned to finish out the game. He was taken to a local hospital afterwards and later was diagnosed with a fractured rib.
