Injuries: Jets QB Sam Darnold (toe) held out of practice

Sam Darnold is still feeling the effects of a rough night at the office Monday.

The Jets quarterback is reportedly sporting padded shoes and limping as a result of having his damaged toenail removed. New York coach Adam Gase told reporters Darnold would only partake in individual drills and 7-on-7 before the team decided if he'd do any more Wednesday. Afterward, he was listed as a DNP.

Darnold will be eager to make amends for a career-worst performance Monday versus the Patriots. In just his second game back from a five-week bout with mononucleosis, he completed 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards while committing five turnovers, inducing four interceptions. He was also forced to smack a bad snap out of the end zone for a safety. It was only the fourth time he's failed to throw a TD but the second occurrence against New England.

The Jets play at Jacksonville on Sunday. The status of linebacker C.J. Mosley remains unclear. After being sidelined for six weeks with an injured groin, Mosley returned versus the Pats but now might have a more serious issue. He didn't practice Wednesday.

"It might be more than the groin," Gase said, adding that Mosley will undergo further examination from doctors.

Here is other news we're monitoring Wednesday:
