New York Jets head coach Adam Gase is anxious to see his number one quarterback Sam Darnold return to the game, as his team are still chasing a first win this season. The main person, inconvenienced by a shoulder injury, would like to take his time before returning to the NFL grounds.
Darnold trained for the first time this week on Friday, having been given a day off, and told the Jets website that his shoulder “felt good”. He missed two games last month due to contact in the game against the Denver Broncos on Oct. 1.
His shoulder was once again damaged on Sunday, during a scrum that took place during the duel between the Jets (0-8) and the Kansas City Chiefs. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test did not reveal any additional damage.
“All of his throws looked good, solid on the ball, no problem with losing velocity,” Gase said after practice.
The driver mentioned Thursday that he hoped to see the pivot in uniform on Monday, in the game against the New England Patriots (2-5). Without necessarily correcting his instructor, Darnold wisely stated that he was taking the situation “one day at a time.”
The 23-year-old quarterback has thrown just three touchdown passes in six games, against six interceptions. The Jets are falling short and members of the organization are hoping for at least one victory by the end of the year.
“Obviously everyone wants to win,” said Darnold. That’s what we’re in the industry for. […] We have to put our heads down and keep working. I think if we do that we can win this next game and worry about the next one afterwards. ”
