The New York Jets quickly found themselves in trouble at quarterback as they visited the Indianapolis Colts to open Week 9 action this Thursday night.

Mike White, the quarterback sensation who led New York to a surprise victory in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, leading the league in passing yards for the day, injured his throwing hand while throwing a touchdown pass to the rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore in the first quarter.

White’s return to the game was called “questionable” by the team in the first instance, although he never returned to the game.

As White slipped off the ball, he was contacted in the wrist area by an Indianapolis defender, apparently causing the injury.

White made his way to the Jets’ medical tent on the bench, where he was examined. He also tried to throw some passes in the lateral area, but he hit the ball visibly frustrated.

Right away, backup quarterback Josh Johnson made warm-up moves, coming in to play the rest of the road, a 45-30 loss.

White started his second career game on Thursday, and second in a row for the Jets, replacing an injured Zach Wilson – second overall pick in the last NFL draft – who opened the season as the undisputed starter for New Yorkers. . The team also recently acquired veteran Joe Flacco via trade with the Philadelphia Eagles after he spent the 2020 season in New York. Flacco hasn’t seen activity with the Jets yet.
