Siemian Lost for the Year, Jets Turn to Luke Falk
As if this season couldn't get any worse for the New York Jets, Gang Green lost its back-up quarterback for the season.
Trevor Siemian suffered ligament damage in his left ankle after rolling over his foot when he was sacked by Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett in Cleveland's 23-3 victory Monday night.
Garrett was all over the Jets backfield Monday thanks in major part to the Jets faulty offensive line, recording three sacks on the night. The hit on Siemian outside the pocket when he tried to roll out and throw the ball deep. Garrett dropped his weight on Siemian as the ball went up in the air, Seimian's foot buckled underneath and contorted in an odd direction making it clear something was damaged.
Seimian reached for his foot almost immediately.
Luke Falk, the Jets third string quarterback will now lead the team. For his part, Falk wasn't bad against Cleveland. He completed 20 of 25 passes for 198 yards, and led New York's lone scoring drive.
Falk will get the start Sunday when the Jets travel to Foxboro to take on the Patriots. He will remain the starter until Sam Darnold returns which could come as early as Week 5 at Philadelphia. Mostly likely though we won't see Darnold until Week 8 at Jacksonville.
Reports are Darnold is feeling better and was seen at the Jets training facility on Tuesday.
