Their bye week has come and gone, but the Jets remain without Sam Darnold.
The rookie quarterback was nowhere to be seen at the start of Monday's practice before finally appearing in street clothes to observe the session from afar, per the team's official website.
After practice, Jets head coach Todd Bowles said Darnold is "day to day, week to week."
In Darnold's absence, 39-year-old Josh McCown and deep backup Davis Webb mined their way through drills ahead of Sunday's tussle with the (eternally) division-leading New England Patriots.
With their season a comprehensive wash, there is little reason to rush Darnold back into the fray. His up-and-down campaign is almost impossible to purely scout inside a banged-up offense bereft of weapons.
