NEW YORK — Zach Wilson will get another chance to prove he should be the Jets starting quarterback.
Jets coach Robert Saleh announced that Wilson will start his ninth game of the season and second consecutive game Thursday night against the Jaguars. Mike White, who started in place of Wilson after he was benched last month, still has not been cleared for contact as his injury is considered week-to-week.
“I’m grateful to be playing and be playing here in New York,” Wilson said on Tuesday. “Really just trying to go out there and do my best and support the guys around me and put us in the best position possible and let the rest take care of itself.
