Sam Darnold Out, Joe Flacco to Start

Sam Darnold will sit out another week with an AC joint sprain to his throwing shoulder. This may come as a surprise since he returned to the Week 4 matchup versus the Broncos after going down, but this could be a smart move by the Jets organization. This season is a wash for them, and it makes sense to preserve any assets they have remaining on the team. Though Darnold's future in New York is in question, they have nothing to gain by forcing him back into action before he's ready. Veteran Joe Flacco guided this sinking ship with dignity in their 30-10 loss to Arizona, and he will make another start versus Miami.
