OCTOBER 22, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Making progress Darnold (shoulder) "looked good" at practice Wednesday, according to coach Adam Gase, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact "From what he's saying right now, he feels good coming into practice today," Gase noted before Thursday's practice, in which Darnold will be listed as as a limited participant, per Connor Hughes of The Athletic. The next hurdle for Darnold will be reestablishing his throwing velocity, but as things currently stand the QB is trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Adam Gase: Sam Darnold 'on a Pitch Count' in Bid to Return as Jets QB HC Says Signal-Caller for Bills Will Depend on How His Young QB Feels After This Week's Practices

OCTOBER 21, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Hoping to play Sunday Darnold (shoulder) took first-team reps in practice Wednesday and is hoping to suit up Sunday against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Adam Gase said the team will evaluate Darnold as the week progresses and have him split first-team reps with backup Joe Flacco, adding that the most important factor will be how Darnold's shoulder responds Thursday after his return to throwing the ball Wednesday. If Darnold's able to suit up, he could finally have the top three receivers on the Jets' depth chart available to him, with rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) expected to make his debut alongside Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman.

On pitch count at practice Darnold (shoulder) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Specifically, Jets head coach Adam Gase noted that Darnold will be on a "pitch count" Wednesday. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, the key to gauging the quarterback's chances of returning to action Sunday against the Bills is how well his shoulder responds to the throwing he does Wednesday. If Darnold is unable to go this weekend, Joe Flacco would draw a third straight start under center.

Could miss another week Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Darnold has a few more steps to progress through before being cleared for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gase wasn't optimistic about Darnold's chances of being ready in time, hinting that the third-year quarterback is likely to spend another game on the sidelines. Darnold didn't practice at all last week, and he'll need to at least log a limited session by Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday. If he misses another game, Joe Flacco is slated for a third straight start.
