It’s been three weeks since Zach Wilson lost his starting quarterback job with the New York Jets, when coach Robert Saleh laid out why a \u201creset\u201d was needed for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

During that time, Wilson has been the team’s No. 3 quarterback and inactive on game days. <\/p>\n

The Jets, who are in the thick of the playoff race, have gone 1-2 with Mike White under center, though the team has seen improved offensive numbers in that stretch.<\/p>\n

White has been limited in practice this week with a ribs injury, though he told reporters Thursday there’s no doubt he’ll play Sunday when New York hosts the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

Wilson’s role, meanwhile, has changed: Saleh said the former BYU quarterback will be the backup for this week’s game, a role veteran Joe Flacco has filled the past three weeks.<\/p>\n

Wilson met with reporters on Wednesday and talked about what his situation has been like the last few weeks, his thoughts on being elevated into the backup role, and whether he believes he’ll play again this season, with four weeks left before the playoffs.<\/p>\n
