Jets Make Mike White Backup QB for Week 1, Also add RB and WR

By Glenn Naughton Posted On September 13, 2020

Decimated by injuries, the Jets added a trio of players to their active roster for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills to fill in some gaps. First and foremost, quarterback Mike White was added to the roster to be Sam Darnold’s backup over Adam Gase favorite David Fales. A good sign for Gase as he looks to be going with the better player over inferior player who “knows the system”.

The Jets also elevated running back Josh Adams and wide receiver Josh Malone to fill in where injuries have shelved multiple receivers and running back La’Mical Perine.
