Joe Flacco to start for the Jets vs. Dolphins with Zach Wilson still not 100%: report
With Zach Wilson still not 100%, the Jets are turning to veteran Joe Flacco to start Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, according to an ESPN report.
Wilson, who suffered a knee injury in a Week 7 loss to the Patriots, was replaced by Mike White who started Gang Green’s last three games. White led a shocking upset over the Bengals in his first career NFL start, then got banged up against the Colts and was overwhelmed by the Bills last week.
The Jets traded for Flacco on Oct. 25, sending a sixth-round draft pick to the Eagles for the former Super Bowl winner. He saw mop-up duty in the 45-17 loss to Buffalo, completing all three of his passes for 47 yards and a touchdown.
Flacco, 36, who won a Super Bowl with the Ravens, is in his second stint with the Jets. He started four games last season after Sam Darnold got hurt and threw for 864 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions. The Jets lost all four games he started.
After 11 seasons with the Ravens, Flacco has bounced around from Denver to the Jets, then to the Eagles and now back in the Big Apple.
