The New York Jets were 0-1 when it was announced that starting quarterback Sam Darnold would be forced to miss a few weeks after contracting mononucleosis.
Darnold had to be quarantined from the rest of the team as he ran the risk of infecting other members of the franchise if he remained at the facility.
At first, the earliest return date projected him to come back after the team’s bye in Week 4.
In the weeks that have followed, he has made his way back and even took first-team repetitions during practice last week but was unable to get clearance to play in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The team announced today that he would had received that clearance and that he would be their starter for Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Sam will start Sunday against Dallas.#DALvsNYJ | #TakeFlight

New York remains winless and the Cowboys are no slouches but having their franchise leader back should vastly change the way this team looks and performs on the field.
