Sam Darnold won’t play this week after he turned up at practice in street clothes and a walking boot Taron Johnson Jerseys 2019 , Jets coach Todd Bowles is a football coach, thus has to say certain things at certain times.Via Darryl Slater of NJ.com, Bowles said he couldn’t rule out the rookie playing Sunday against the Bills. (Presumably, he can’t rule out that Darnold won’t be the next Attorney General either.)“We’ll see how he comes along during the week,” Bowles said.Bowles was still referring to Darnold as “day-to-day” with a foot strain White Tre’Davious White Jersey , and that he wouldn’t require surgery for the problem, ruling out a Lisfranc injury. He also said he wouldn’t play Darnold unless he was able to practice Thursday or Friday.Darnold said after last week’s game with the Dolphins that he聽“got a little dinged up, but nothing that will stop me.”Apparently that’s not the case, though Bowles said he didn’t realize it was an issue they got back home.“I didn’t hear about it until Monday,” Bowles said. “I guess he got banged up Tre’Davious White Jersey 2019 , and I guess it got worse. I don’t know what play specifically. He told me [it happened] when he cut, but that could’ve been on any number of plays.”The Jets have a bye after this week’s game, so there’s an extra week of rest, if, in fact White Zay Jones Jerseys , Darnold isn’t ready to go. (Or, if he ends up running the Justice Department.) The Buffalo Bills enter Sunday’s home game against the Chicago Bears on a three-game losing streak. Since Stephen Hauschka nailed a field goal as time expired to send Buffalo to a 13-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans, the Bills have been unable to muster any sort of offense. This week doesn’t figure to be any easier for the boys in blue.With Derek Anderson (concussion) and Josh Allen (elbow) both ruled out for today’s contest, the starting quarterback duties fall squarely on the shoulders of one Nathan Peterman. The second-year man has been intercepted on 11.1% of his regular-season passing attempts in his career, and the Bears boast a strong defense that has forced 11 interceptions through 7 games this season.Perhaps the worst part about Buffalo’s injuries at the quarterback situation is not that they force Peterman to start Zay Jones Jerseys 2019 , but more that the Bills’ options behind Peterman are woefully inept. If Peterman were to be injured, the Bills would be forced to play Matt Barkley, who signed with the team just this week, at the most important position on the field. They may also determine that they would be better off running a version of the option with ether Logan Thomas, a former quarterback turned tight end White Dion Dawkins Jerseys , or newly-signed wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who played wideout in college.Buffalo is also missing two starters on defense, with linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (concussion) and defensive end Trent Murphy (knee) both ruled out. Buffalo will be short-handed in a difficult contest against the first-place team from the NFC North.This is your first-half open thread, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s hope for a better result than the last few weeks!
