Jets players told QB Zach Wilson won't start Sunday

Sources told Adam that the Jets players were told Wednesday morning that Wilson wouldn't start against the Bears.

Either Mike White or Joe Flacco will start at quarterback.

Wilson was the starter for the Jets this season. The Jets' offense didn't score a lot of points in the two games against the Pats.

The Jets are trying to end an 11-year playoff losing streak. They don't want to waste this opportunity because of erratic quarterback play, because they believe they have a championship caliber defense.

Wilson refused to take responsibility for the poor showing by the offense in Sunday's loss to New England, creating a furor.

After meeting with Wilson, Saleh told reporters that he was evaluating the quarterback position. It was the first time that Wilson's job security was called into question by the team.

Wilson missed the start of the 2020 season after having knee surgery. The starting quarterback went 1-2 in the first three games.
