When the Jets host the Lions on Sunday, quarterback Zach Wilson—the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL draft—will be back in uniform for the team. Coach Robert Saleh announced that Wilson will serve as the backup to Mike White.
Wilson hasn’t suited up for the Jets since the 10–3 loss to the Patriots on Nov. 20, when he completed just 9-of-22 passes for 77 yards. The team managed just 103 yards of offense in the game.
The team benched Wilson after that game, slotting him below White and veteran Joe Flacco on the depth chart.
