First NFL start awaits White is expected to start the Jets' Week 8 game against the Bengals with top quarterback Zack Wilson (knee) likely to miss 2-to-4 weeks after he was diagnosed Monday with a PCL sp...
Impact White, who went undrafted out of Western Kentucky in 2018, was summoned off the bench for his first NFL snaps in relief of an injured Wilson in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots. Though he quickly converted on a three-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis after Wilson exited the game in the second quarter with the Jets facing a goal-line situation, White largely struggled to guide the offense most of the afternoon, finishing with 20 completions on 32 attempts for 202 yards and two interceptions. White could deliver an improved performance with the benefit of a full slate of first-team reps in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he likely won't warrant much consideration Week 8 outside of fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot.

Replaces injured Wilson White replaced the injured Zach Wilson (knee) in the second quarter of Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots. He threw for 202 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Impact White entered the game in a 1st-and-goal situation after Wilson got injured, and the backup responded by throwing a three-yard touchdown to Corey Davis on his first NFL pass. It was all downhill from there, however, as White was picked off twice and the Jets fell in blowout fashion. Wilson was able to limp to the locker room under his own power, and the rookie second overall pick should regain the starting job as soon as he's healthy enough to do so. It remains to be seen whether Wilson or White will be under center against the Bengals in Week 8, but neither will be a recommended fantasy option given the Jets' struggles.

Should land backup gig White (ribs) is viewed as the clear favorite to secure the Jets' backup quarterback job as final cuts approach, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Impact White's a better short-term option than James Morgan, who's likely ticketed for the practice squad, and the Jets have released Josh Johnson, who didn't get any reps until after White suffered his rib injury. Johnson's release suggests the team is confident in White's health heading into the season, though the possibility of bringing in a more reliable backup option that gets cut by another team can't be ruled out.
