New York Jets fans will remember former head coach Rex Ryan's incident involving feet a few years back.
Fast forward to today where it looks like there's another news story to report involving Gang Green and feet, kind of. This time involving quarterback Sam Darnold, coming off arguably the worst game of his NFL career in their 33-0 loss to the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football.
Darnold had his toenail removed Tuesday and came to practice Wednesday limping, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported.
Head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday morning that Darnold will be reevealuted after participating in individual and 7-on-7 drills. He's been given a special shoe and padding to help alleviate any discomfort.
"We're just trying to make sure that he feels good with the shoes that he's got," Gase said. "He just had that procedure (Tuesday). He had a toenail removed. I don't know. It was pretty gross, what they were talking about."
Gase is not concerned about how the procedure will affect Darnold's status for Sunday.
"He's limping a little bit," Gase said. "But once we get him in his shoe and the padding and all that stuff, he should be good to go."
Darnold had a performance to forget versus the Patriots, completing 11-of-32 passes for just 86 yards, four interceptions and one lost fumble.
The Jets, who are 1-5 to begin the 2019 season, take on the Jaguars in Jacksonville Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
