News

  • Primed for extended snaps

    Coach Adam Gase said Darnold and other starters will play into the third quarter during Saturday's preseason game against New Orleans, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: That doesn't include Le'Veon Bell, who was held out for the first two weeks and isn't likely to see more than a few snaps, if any, come Saturday night. Darnold has been sharp in two preseason games, completing nine of 12 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.

  • Starts hot in Atlanta

    Darnold played the first three drives of Thursday's 22-10 win over the Falcons in Week 2 of the Jets' preseason slate, completing five of seven passes for 46 yards and adding a three-yard run on his only carry.

    Analysis: Darnold led the offense to a one-yard Ty Montgomery rushing touchdown on the opening drive, then failed to get much going in the rest of his action. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft looks comfortable running the offense and showed nice chemistry with wide receivers Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson in this one, so Darnold continues to give Jets fans reasons for optimism heading into his second NFL season.

  • Leads TD drive against G-Men

    Darnold played one series in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants, completing four of five passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Darnold's first throw was nearly intercepted, but he was perfect thereafter, converting a pair of third downs and capping the drive with a three-yard touchdown pass to offseason acquisition Jamison Crowder. The second-year quarterback has reportedly increased his arm strength by working on his hips during the offseason, but it remains to be seen how much of an effect that has on his performance. This was a promising start, though.

  • Starting preseason opener

    Darnold will start Thursday's preseason game versus the Giants, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Darnold likely won't play more than a series or two, but he'll at least get his feet wet in a game for the first time since the 2018 season finale. The Jets are holding out both Le'Veon Bell and holdover Bilal Powell, so we'll have to wait another week to see Darnold with his new-look backfield.

  • Struggles during minicamp

    Darnold and the Jets offense struggled during June minicamp, though dropped passes were part of the problem, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Darnold's work throughout the offseason program has mostly drawn praise from the media, but it sounds like the Gang Green defense got the best of the offense in the final few practices before training camp. In addition to learning a new scheme from coach Adam Gase, the 22-year-old quarterback is trying to get comfortable with offseason acquisitions Le'Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder. The Jets have a well-balanced group of pass catchers, though tight end could be a weak spot early in the season…read more

  • Pumped to work with Gase

    Darnold is excited to work with new head coach Adam Gase, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. "I think the stuff that coach Gase does is amazing," Darnold said. "The scheme that he's able to create and to be able to put the defense in uncomfortable positions, which he does a lot, I think it is awesome and shows a lot about his creativity and his offensive mind."

    Analysis: The 40-year-old Gase will stay in the AFC East after producing a 23-25 record in three seasons as head coach of the Dolphins, with his offenses finishing in the bottom half of the league for both points and yards each season. The statistics don't provide much cause for optimism, but it can easily be argued Gase overachieved in winning 7.7 games per season with some brutal rosters that were further weakened by Ryan Tannehill's injuries (24 missed games). The current collection of talent isn't…read more

  • Caps rookie season with loss

    Darnold completed 16 of 28 passes for 167 yards while adding a 28-yard carry and losing a fumble in Sunday's 38-3 loss to New England. He finishes the season with 2,865 passing yards and a 17:15 touchdown to interception ratio.

    Analysis: Darnold ends his up-and-down rookie season on a down note, though the 28-yard rush was the longest of his career. He should undoubtedly return as the Jets' starting quarterback next season, and the team has oodles of cap space and a high draft pick to surround Darnold with more talent, as the poor play around him noticeably took a toll on the third overall pick's numbers.

  • Career game wasted by poor defense

    Darnold completed 24 of 35 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns while rushing three times for four yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Darnold extended wide receiver Robby Anderson's touchdown streak to three games with a 33-yard connection in the second quarter, then added a five-yard score to Chris Herndon and a 20-yarder to Elijah McGuire, both in the third. Unfortunately for the rookie third overall selection, this career-high performance in the passing yards category was wasted by New York's undisciplined defense, as the Jets' 16 penalties for 172 yards helped keep the Packers in the game and spurred Green Bay's 24-3 run…read more

  • Comeback bid falls short

    Darnold completed 24 of 38 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 35 yards in Saturday's 29-22 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Darnold led the Jets to a 22-19 lead with five minutes left in the game, but the defense gave back the lead and the young quarterback was unable to put together another scoring drive. It's only the third time this season Darnold hasn't thrown an interception and he looked quite poised despite Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon struggling on the ground with 25 carries for 55 yards. Additionally, the rookie quarterback didn't appear to show any ill affects from the sprained right foot that plagued…read more

  • Logs full practice

    Darnold (foot) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: After missing three straight games with a sprained right foot, Darnold practiced fully throughout last week and gained clearance to start Sunday against the Bills. He departed in the first half after aggravating the injury, but re-entered the contest and helped guide the Jets to a 27-23 comeback victory. According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Darnold split first-team reps with Josh McCown in the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, but the full participation listing suggests the…read more

  • Expects to play Saturday

    Darnold (foot) and coach Todd Bowles both expect the quarterback to be fine for Saturday's game against the Texans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bowles said the injury to Darnold's right foot is different from the issue that caused a three-game absence, but it's hard to imagine they aren't related in any way. Regardless, the rookie missed just one drive during Sunday's game in Buffalo, ultimately leading the Jets to 14 points in the fourth quarter to secure a 27-23 win. While he doesn't expect to miss any more time, Darnold likely will have a spot on the team's Week 15 injury report.

  • Toughs out injury in comeback win

    Darnold completed 16 of 24 passes for 170 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 27-23 win over Buffalo. He also rushed for 10 yards on four carries.

    Analysis: Darnold only threw six passes in the first half, completing four for 41 yards. He limped off to the locker room and didn't play on New York's second drive after rushing for nine yards on third-and-10 prior to a punt on the first, but Darnold was able to return for the Jets' third possession and beyond. His touchdown was a 7-yarder to Robby Anderson, and Darnold found Anderson for a 37-yard gain down the sideline inside of two minutes left to set up Elijah McGuire's game-winning touchdown run.…read more

  • Re-enters Week 14 contest

    Darnold returned to Sunday's game against the Bills after initially exiting with a right foot injury, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Darnold, who is playing for the first time since Week 9, presumably aggravated his sprained foot on the Jets' opening drive. Josh McCown stepped in for the subsequent possession and led the Jets into field-goal range, but it looks like Darnold will be ready to go for the rest of the day after receiving some treatment on the sideline.

  • Injures foot Sunday

    Darnold is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Buffalo due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: Darnold missed the Jets' previous three games due to a sprained right foot, so he may have aggravated the injury. While there's a chance he may reenter the contest, he'll yield quarterback duties to veteran Josh McCown for the time being.

  • Limps to locker room Sunday

    Darnold (undisclosed) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: After missing three contests with a sprained right foot, Darnold was cleared to return Sunday, only to last nine minutes before suffering a lower-body injury. It remains to be seen if his right foot is the culprit, but the Jets will confirm the nature of the injury in short order.

  • Starting assignment confirmed

    Darnold (foot) will return from a three-game absence to start Sunday's game against the Bills, a source told Brian Costello of the New York Post.

    Analysis: Coach Todd Bowles was unwilling to announce a Week 14 starter heading into the weekend, but there was never much doubt Darnold would be back under center after he practiced fully Wednesday through Friday. With the report now corroborating the prevailing belief that Darnold will start, those relying on the rookie in two-quarterback leagues can insert him into lineups without any reservations. That said, Darnold hasn't offered much to excited about from a performance standpoint this season, as…read more

  • Not on final injury report

    Darnold (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have any injury designation for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: A full participant at every practice this week, Darnold is expected to return to the starting job Sunday, though coach Todd Bowles has thus far declined to provide confirmation. Given how poorly Josh McCown played the past three weeks, there isn't much reason to keep Darnold on the bench. It isn't clear whether Bowles is making a poor attempt at gamesmanship or if he truly remains undecided on his Week 14 starter.

  • Week 14 start not assured

    Darnold was a full participant in practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, but coach Todd Bowles was unwilling to confirm the rookie as the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bills, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: On the heels of a three-game absence due to a sprained foot, Darnold's full practices on consecutive days put him on track to suit up this weekend, but Bowles may not reveal the Jets' plans at quarterback until after Friday's session. Despite the lack of a firm commitment from his coach, it would be a surprise if Darnold wasn't ultimately under center Sunday, given the Jets are incentivized to give the No. 3 overall pick as many developmental opportunities as possible over the final quarter of…read more

  • Turns in full practice

    Darnold (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As has been reported previously, Darnold -- who has missed three games with a strained foot -- is in line return to action Sunday against the Bills, barring any setbacks. Meanwhile, Josh McCown (back), who had been starting in Darnold's place over the past three games, logged a limited practice Wednesday. The Jets haven't officially named a starter for Week 14, but Darnold's return to practice in full capacity would make it a surprise if he was bypassed for the nod.

  • Works ahead of McCown

    Darnold (foot) was the first quarterback to take reps during team drills Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cimini previously relayed that barring a setback in practice this week, Darnold -- who has missed three games with a sprained foot -- should return to action Sunday against the Bills. At 3-9, the Jets' playoff hopes have been dashed, but Darnold will look to help his team -- which has lost six straight games -- finish the season on a positive note. Darnold has nowhere to go but up if he plays Sunday, given that he tossed four picks in his last appearance during the Jets' Week 9 loss to the…read more

    Coach Todd Bowles said Darnold (foot) may be limited in practice once again Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darnold has been out for four weeks, missing the Jets' past three games due to his foot injury. Bowles said Darnold was essentially healed from his foot injury, but the team was being cautious bringing him back and wanted to ease him into practice as well. Darnold being limited in practice again this week after being limited last week could put him in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game. Josh McCown has started in Darnold's place and would figure to do so again if the rookie passer is…read more

  • Deemed healthy by coach

    Coach Todd Bowles admitted after Sunday's 26-22 loss to the Titans that Darnold has essentially healed from his sprained right foot and could be ready to start Week 14 in Buffalo, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "He could have played. He just needed more reps," Bowles said of the rookie quarterback. "You just can't bring him back after 14-to-17 days [off]. Even if he's healthy, to not have timing and everything else and put him out there [Sunday] in a game like this. We'll reload this week and see where he is."

    Analysis: Darnold practiced Wednesday through Friday leading up to the contest, but had his activity limited in each session. As a result, Bowles went with Josh McCown as the Jets' starting quarterback for the third straight game, with the offense again sputtering under his direction. Assuming Darnold is able to increase his activity in practices this week and further support Bowles' assertion that he's healthy, expect the signal-caller to end his three-game absence Sunday against the Bills. Darnold has…read more

    Darnold (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: As reports over the previous 24 hours hinted, Darnold won't be ready to make his return to action while he continues to work back from the strained right foot. Josh McCown will draw a third straight start in the rookie's stead, but the Jets maintain optimism that Darnold will be ready to play Week 14 against the Bills. Darnold was a limited participant throughout practices this week, so he would likely need to upgrade to full participation between Wednesday and Friday to bolster his chances of…read more

  • Won't start Week 13

    Darnold (foot) won't start Sunday's game against the Titans, sources tell Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Josh McCown will instead fill in under center for the Jets' third consecutive game.

    Analysis: Cimini's report doesn't indicate whether Darnold will be inactive for the contest or dress as the backup quarterback, but bet on the former given that the team still has another healthy signal-caller in Davis Webb on the 53-man roster. Darnold demonstrated progress in his recovery from the right foot strain by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, but the Jets probably aren't eager to take any chances with the No. 3 overall pick amid a non-contending season until they're…read more

    Darnold (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, isn't expected to start but will go through a pregame workout before his status for the contest is determined, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

    Analysis: The Jets are tentatively planning to go with Josh McCown under center for a third straight game, though things could change if Darnold gives the coaching staff more faith in his health by turning in a quality workout beforehand. After missing the past two contests, Darnold returned to practice this week as a limited participant, but there's apparently still some concerns from the Jets that he's not 100 percent recovered from the strained right foot.

    Analysis: According to Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, Darnold practiced in a limited fashion Friday for the third consecutive day, which was enough to make him a 50-50 proposition for the weekend. Josh McCown (thumb/back), meanwhile, upgraded to full participation Friday after back-to-back limited showings, putting him in line to start Sunday if Darnold is unable to return from a two-game absence.

    Darnold (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: While it doesn't appear Darnold took a major step forward in his recovery from a right foot strain after he was limited for the second straight day, the fact that he was able to participate in back-to-back practices offers hope he might be available Sunday in Tennessee. Because Darnold hasn't appeared in a game since Week 9, the Jets may want to see the rookie put in a full practice Friday before signing off on his return.

The team will provide an update on Darnold's participation level shortly after Thursday's session concludes, but he should at least garner a limited tag since he was spotted participating in quarterback drills for the second straight day, per Brian Costello of the New York Post.

  • Feeling good after practice

    Darnold (foot) said he felt "really good" after a limited practice Wednesday and hopes to play in Sunday's game in Tennessee, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Josh McCown (back/thumb) worked with the first-team offense during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, but Darnold served as the No. 2 quarterback ahead of Davis Webb. It's a sign the rookie could be active for Sunday's game against the Titans even if the Jets take a cautious approach and keep McCown under center for another week. Darnold plans to practice again Thursday, with his activity during that session -- as well as Friday's -- likely to shed further light on his status for Week 13.

    Darnold (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wednesday marks the first time Darnold has been listed as anything besides a non-participant since he injured his foot in a Week 9 loss to the Dolphins. A report from over the weekend suggested the rookie is likely to miss his third straight game Sunday in Tennessee, though he at least seems to have some chance of returning based on his activity Wednesday. Another start for Josh McCown is still the more likely scenario, as the Jets don't have any incentive to rush Darnold back and probably want…read more

  • Spotted at practice

    Darnold (foot) was present for the Jets' first practice of the week Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That was also the case last Wednesday, but the quarterback was ultimately listed as a non-participant on the team's corresponding injury report. It remains to be seen if Darnold will be able to work in an official capacity Wednesday, but an update on that front should come later in the day. His status for Sunday's game against the Titans tentatively remains cloudy.

  • May miss Week 13

    Darnold (foot), who is already listed as out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, likely will miss the Jets' Week 13 contest in Tennessee as well, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Before the Jets decide on Darnold's fate for Week 13, they will see how his strained right foot responds to on-field work during practice sessions next Wednesday through Friday. While it's possible that Darnold could demonstrate enough progress for the Jets to sign off on his return next weekend, the prevailing belief is that the organization will take a more cautious approach with their 2018 first-round pick amid a non-contending season. Darnold, who has completed only 55 percent of his passes…read more

  • Ruled out this week

    Darnold (foot) won't play Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: With Darnold officially ruled out, Josh McCown will draw another start at QB for the Jets this weekend. Darnold's next shot to play will arrive in Week 13, when New York faces Tennessee on the road.

  • Not practicing

    Darnold (foot) was once again listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: While Randy Lange of the Jets' official site relays that coach Todd Bowles says it's too early to know who will start at QB for the team Sunday against the Patriots, both Slater and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News expect that Josh McCown will get the nod. That seems like a probable outcome, with added clarity on that front due to arrive Friday.

  • Progressing, but not practicing yet

    Darnold (foot) was in uniform for Wednesday's practice but was listed as a non-participant on the team's injury report, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Darnold is said to be making some progress from his strained right foot, his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots remains unclear. At this stage, he's not ruled out for the contest, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. If Darnold ends up being held out again this weekend, Josh McCown would be in line for another start.

    Darnold (foot) is in uniform for Wednesday's practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Jets will reveal later Wednesday how extensively Darnold was involved in practice, but his presence on the field in any capacity is a step in the right direction. Darnold last played Nov. 4 against the Dolphins, with Josh McCown having drawn the team's Week 10 starting assignment in advance of the Jets' bye.

  • Uncertain availability for Week 12

    Head coach Todd Bowles described Darnold (foot) as "day-to-day, week-to-week" at Monday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Bowles' comments aren't helpful in the slightest, his rookie quarterback -- who has resumed jogging on his injured right foot -- indicated he's no longer experiencing any pain and wants to play in this Sunday's game against the Patriots. We'll see if Darnold is available to practice Wednesday when the Jets issue their first injury report of the week. His participation in any capacity would bode well for his impending availability.

  • Jogging without pain

    Darnold (foot) said he has been jogging without pain, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Darnold was held out of Monday's practice coming out of a Week 11 bye, but it does seem he made some form of progress during the time off. Josh McCown will get another start if the rookie isn't ready for Sunday's home game against the Patriots.

    Darnold (foot) isn't practicing Monday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of a Week 11 bye, Darnold still isn't ready to practice as the Jets begin preparation for Sunday's game against New England. There's still time for the rookie to get some work before the contest, but the initial absence suggests Josh McCown may get another start.

  • No lock to be ready after bye

    Darnold (foot) is out of his walking boot, but coach Todd Bowles acknowledged Monday that he isn't sure if the rookie quarterback will be ready to play after a Week 11 bye, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: An embarrassing 41-10 loss to the Bills on Sunday ended any slim hope of competing for a wild-card spot and also seems to have put Bowles on the hot seat (if he wasn't already). The Jets don't have any short-term incentive to rush their rookie quarterback into action if he isn't 100 percent healthy, but they may need him in the lineup to get an accurate evaluation of their team before making some big decisions during the offseason. The bye week comes at a convenient time, allowing Darnold to…read more

  • Inactive in Week 10

    Darnold (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: With Darnold out, Davis Webb will serve as Josh McCown's backup Sunday. Meanwhile, ESPN's Adam Schefter relays that Darnold has a sprained arch in his foot. With the Jets on bye in Week 11, it's possible that Darnold could return as soon as the team's Nov. 25 game against the Patriots, though it's also plausible that he could be held out until Week 13, with the big picture in mind.

  • Won't start, listed as doubtful

    Darnold (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relays via coach Todd Bowles that it's "possible" Darnold could suit up as the Jets' No. 2 QB on Sunday, but a more likely scenario is that the team promotes Davis Webb from the practice squad in order to back up Josh McCown this weekend.

  • Won't make Week 10 start

    Coach Todd Bowles said Darnold (foot) wouldn't be available to start Sunday's game against the Bills, but could still dress as the backup quarterback, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Bowles made the announcement following Thursday's practice, during which Darnold was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day while managing a strained right foot. If Darnold is able to get some work in during the Jets' final practice of the week Friday, it could be enough for the team to keep the rookie active as an emergency backup to Josh McCown, who will be making his first start of 2018. Bowles reiterated that Darnold will take back the No. 1 gig once he's back to full…read more

  • Spectator again for practice

    Darnold (foot) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though a strained right foot will prevent Darnold from going through team drills for a second straight day, he was in attendance for the session and was spotted doing some light, informal throwing off to the side, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. Perhaps more notable was the fact that he was still sporting a walking boot, according to Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, casting doubt on the rookie's availability for the weekend. If Darnold is unable to fit in any on-field activity Friday…read more

  • Week 10 status undecided

    Coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Darnold is considered day-to-day with a foot strain.

    Analysis: Though there are reports suggesting that Darnold isn't expected to play Sunday against the Bills, an official determination has yet to be made on that front. With that in mind, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site relays that the team will see how Darnold's foot heals in the coming days before rendering a decision on his status for the weekend. The Jets are on bye in Week 11, which will also likely factor into their plans on how to proceed with Darnold if he remains in poor health heading into…read more

    Darnold (foot) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Bills, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: While the Jets haven't actually ruled Darnold out, multiple beat reporters have sources confirming he won't be able to play after sitting out Wednesday's practice while donning a protective boot over his sprained foot. Josh McCown is expected to start Sunday, with the rookie potentially gaining clearance to play following the Jets' Week 11 bye.

  • Sprained foot threatens Week 10 status

    Darnold is dealing with a sprained right foot, both Rich Cimini of ESPN.com and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News report.

    Analysis: According to Mehta, Darnold's sprain is "significant," and the expectation is that quarterback won't be available Sunday against the Bills. The Jets have yet to confirm that will be the case, but those who have been relying on Darnold in fantasy leagues should begin weighing other options. If Darnold is in fact sidelined for Week 10, Josh McCown would draw the team's starting assignment.

  • Sports walking boot on right foot

    Darnold wasn't practicing Wednesday due to an apparent foot injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Darnold -- who came up limping after taking a sack in Sunday's loss to Miami -- was sporting a walking boot on his right foot on the sideline during the Jets' first practice of Week 10. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Darnold admitted Monday that he was "dinged up," but the quarterback suggested that it wasn't anything serious. Now that he's absent from practice, Darnold's status for this weekend's game against the Bills must now be monitored. Veteran Josh McCown would be in line for the start if…read more

  • Throws four interceptions in loss to Dolphins

    Darnold completed 21 of 39 pass attempts for 229 yards and four interceptions during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Darnold struggled while completing just 54 percent of his passes, though he did go over 200 passing yards for the first time on the road. He dealt with constant pressure on the day and was even limping after one hit, according to Connor Hughes of The Athletic, but he was able to finish the game. Unfortunately, one of Darnold's four interceptions came on the last drive as his team searched for a touchdown to tie the score. The rookie continues to take his lumps in what has been a rough first NFL…read more
