Quarterback Sam Darnold will play through a left thumb sprain likely to bother him the rest of the season and New York Jets inside linebacker C.J. Mosley could be done for the year with a groin injury.
Darnold was injured Sunday in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Adam Gase said Monday.
Gase said the injury will be a concern the rest of the season, but Darnold will play through the discomfort.
Mosley is scheduled to see a specialist and be re-evaluated for a groin injury that was first diagnosed after Week 1. Gase said it’s possible Mosley is done for the season, but the team doesn’t plan to make that call until Mosley completes a five-week injury rehab program.
Center Ryan Kalil also came out of the Jacksonville game nicked up, but Gase said Kalil will be listed as week-to-week with a knee injury.
The Jets are 1-6 this season, and Gase said the team’s standing could play a role in deciding whether Mosley has surgery or continues rehab in December or pushes to get back on the field.
Availability for other injured Jets’ players will be updated Wednesday.
One player who won’t be available Sunday when the Jets play the Miami Dolphins is defensive tackle Leonard Williams. Williams, the sixth overall pick in the 2015 draft, was traded to the New York Giants on Monday for two mid-round draft picks.
