The Facts: Mike White's run as the New York Jets' starting quarterback, for now, has come to an end. With injured rookie Zach Wilson continuing his recovery from a PCL sprain in his right knee, the club will turn to Flacco for Sunday's AFC East home game against the Miami Dolphins.
Diehards Line:
The Jets traded a 2022 conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Flacco last month, following Wilson's injury. The pick will become a fifth-rounder if Flacco plays at least 50 percent of the snaps in four games for the Jets, per Rapoport. At the time of the trade, however, White was the choice to start, as Flacco missed practice on a personal leave and did not join the Jets until the Friday of his first week with the team. Flacco, who made four starts for the Jets last season, relieved White at the end of a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills last week, completing all three of his passes, one for a touchdown.
