Jets' Sam Darnold: Could be back Week 12

Coach Adam Gase said Friday that Darnold (shoulder) has a "good shot" to return to action the Jets' Week 12 game against the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports .

Darnold has already been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, paving the way for Joe Flacco to draw another start. The 23-year-old is trending in the right direction for Week 12, but his activity in practice next week will ultimately dictate whether or not he's fit to play. Darnold has just 1,045 passing yards and a 3:6 TD:INT through six appearances.
