The New York Jets team doctor has not allowed quarterback Mike White for contact ahead of Sunday’s game, meaning Zach Wilson will start against the Detroit Lions, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
White suffered an unspecified rib injury during Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. He wanted to play and train, but the Jets doctors wouldn’t allow him on the court, sources said.
Therefore, Wilson, who has been inactive for the past three weeks after being benched, returns as the Jets’ starter as they look to snap a two-loss streak and keep their playoff hopes on track.
