Jets Unsure If Joe Flacco Will Be Active Thursday
3 years agoThe New York Jets have not decided if quarterback Joe Flacco will be active on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The Jets acquired Flacco from the Philadelphia Eagles last week for QB depth with rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) missing time due to a PCL strain. Flacco wasn't active for the surprising Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and that could be the case again this Thursday. Josh Johnson was the backup on Sunday for Mike White, who went 37-for-45 for 405 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions against Cincy. White definitely earned another start with his performance in Week 8, and it's unlikely that Flacco will get a start for the Jets before Wilson is ready to return, possibly in Week 11.
