NEW YORK — Sam Darnold will be back in the starting lineup Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after missing two games with an injury to his throwing shoulder.
"Sam, things are trending in the right direction, hopefully barring any setbacks we'll get him going on Sundays, this Sunday," Jets coach Adam Gase said Friday before practice. "We'll roll him, he'll be good."
The Jets (0-6) are desperate for a win, and backup Joe Flacco has been awful in his two starts in place of Darnold, throwing for just one touchdown and 397 yards while completing 52% of his passes.
