New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh wouldn't commit to a healthy Zach Wilson on Monday when asked directly to clarify the quarterback situation.
"If everything goes according to plan and Zach comes back and he's healthy, we'll address it when we cross that bridge," he said.
Saleh seemingly left the door ajar for Mike White to seize the starting job Sunday, saying "anything is possible" long term. White threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Jets past the Cincinnati Bengals in his first career start.
The Jets drafted Wilson second overall, but the rookie has struggled through his first six starts, throwing four touchdowns compared to nine interceptions. He also has the lowest completion percentage and passer rating among qualified quarterbacks.
White, a fifth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2018, will get his second start on Thursday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts with Wilson still sidelined by a knee injury.
