New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced Wednesday that Mike White will start at quarterback in Sunday's Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Zach Wilson will miss the contest with a knee injury.
Joe Flacco, who was acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, is away from the team for personal reasons and isn't expected to practice until Friday. It's unclear whether he'll be ready to handle the backup role by Sunday.
"We'll see how it goes," Saleh told reporters.
Josh Johnson is on the practice squad and could be called up if Flacco is unavailable.
