The New York Jets have made their decision as to who will start at QB in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. With rookie Zach Wilson evidently still on the mend from a knee injury, Robert Saleh will go with backup Mike White once again:
The #Jets are starting QB Mike White, source said, as the legendary backup will take the field against the #Bills. Zach Wilson will use the week to get healthier.

Wilson hasn't played since Week 6 where he left early against the Patriots. The Jets had some hope that he could be ready to roll this Sunday, but the former BYU standout needs more time to get back to full strength.

The 26-year-old put on a display in Week 8 against the Bengals, completing 37 of 45 passes for 405 yards and three touchdowns. However, he exited a loss to the Colts last Thursday after only 11 snaps with a small forearm injury but White is all good to play in Week 10.
The Jets are just 2-6 on the season and have really struggled on both sides of the ball. They're 27th in the league in points and absolutely terrible on the ground, notching a mere 77.1 yards per contest. Wilson was taking a beating through the first six games of his NFL career due to the lack of coverage he was receiving and it was only a matter of time until he got injured.
The youngster has already been sacked 19 times in 2021.
White will have his hands full with a stout Bills defense who ranks 1st in every notable category.
