Excellent news for the Jets, Sam Darnold, and Darnold’s spleen – the quarterback has been cleared to play for Sunday against the Cowboys, per an official club announcement. 
With that, Darnold will make his long-awaited return. The QB has been out of action since Week 1 with mononucleosis, rending him too weak to lift a pencil (at least, that’s what they say about mono) and too prone to serious spleen injury. He’ll return to the Jets just in the nick of time – the Jets are 0-4 under new head coach Adam Gase and are already dangerously close to putting themselves out of playoff contention.
These Jets aren’t built for a Super Bowl run, but Gang Green is at least hoping to take a step in the right direction this year. Even without Quincy Enunwa, the Jets may have enough offensive firepower in Darnold, running back Le’Veon Bell, and other key pieces to make some noise and brush up to the .500 mark. They’ve also got a stockpile of defensive talent, though they’ll need some better luck on the injury front in order to capitalize.
After Dallas, the Jets will have a second showdown with the Patriots, followed by games against the Jaguars and Dolphins.
Didnt Darnold play week1 then had to go out?
He had 41 pass attempts…
Yes, he did
Is Zach a Jets fan or just delusional? Offensive firepower? They are ranked 31st. If they even get a sniff of .500 Case should be the unanimous choice as coach of the year.
I’m no Jets apologist or fan.
But honestly… how much offensive firepower would your team have and were would they rank… if your team’s QB was out and replaced by Luke Falk for 4 weeks?
Firepower isn’t the issue- a functional OL is the single biggest issue no matter who is playing QB.
