Zach Wilson was inactive despite a good pre-game workout, Mike White left Sunday’s blowout loss with a potential injury (for the third time in three weeks he has had to sit out part of the game), and Joe Flacco – who was 3-for-3 for 47 yards and a touchdown on the final drive – became the fourth different signal-caller to take a snap for the Jets this season.
And so, next week’s starting QB for the 2-7 Gang Green will be…TBD.
“We’ll see where we’re at with all the injuries and let that sort out, and we’ll have a better idea tomorrow afternoon,” head coach Robert Saleh said shortly after the team’s 45-17 loss to the Bills.
According to Saleh, Zach Wilson, who practiced in full on Friday and had a “pretty hard” pre-game workout Sunday, is “still dealing with stuff” surrounding his knee injury.
“He’s getting better every day and we’ll see where he’s at from an injury standpoint before we make any decisions,” Saleh said.

White, who replaced Wilson after he was injured three weeks ago against New England, was 24-of-44 for 251 yards on Sunday, but threw four interceptions and was removed from the game after being hit hard on a sack with just under five minutes left. He had a strong game against Cincinnati in his starting debut two weeks ago, and was 7-for-11 for 95 yards and a touchdown before leaving last Thursday’s game in Indianapolis with a forearm injury.
If it is back to Wilson, then White will go back to being his No. 1 cheerleader.
Flacco, who came in for his first action of the season in White’s place, was active for the first time in three weeks as a Jet after being acquired from Philadelphia before the trade deadline. The Jets also have Josh Johnson, who played in each of the previous two games on the practice squad; he replaced White for part of a drive against Cincinnati, and was 27-of-41 for 317 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against Indianapolis.
