Adam Gase: When Sam Darnold is medically cleared for contact, he wants his QB to play vs Eagles.

Gase thinks Darnold’s strength & stamina are fine.

“You would see a fatigue if there was one. And we didn’t see that.”

Sam Darnold appears to have no fatigue at practice and his coach is ready to start him this week against the Eagles if he is medically cleared to play. His presence would be an upgrade for all of the fantasy pieces on the Jets.

Sam Darnold will practice today and "see how it goes," Adam Gase said. They are taking it day-to-day.

Getting a practice in on Wednesday is a good start for Darnold's availability for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. If he can ramp up his practices as the week goes on, he will likely play.

Not quite the all-clear they were hoping for, Rapoport went on to say. Darnold has not lifted or ran or thrown since contracting mono, so he’ll ramp up this week. The hope is he can play in Week 5 in what is a nice matchup against the Eagles, but if he's not cleared, it's Falk who gets the start again.

Gase says "everything looks like it's trending in the direction" for Sam Darnold (mono) to play Week 5.

The Jets play the Eagles in Week 5 after a bye in Week 4. Darnold has been back in the building for over a week now so the news continues to be positive for the starter and it looks like he'll be able to go in a couple of weeks.

We had a report earlier today that Darnold was back with the Jets and doing much better. It's good news for the Jets and their playmakers. Falk will start Week 3.
