NEW YORK (AP) — Josh McCown might be in for at

least one more start for the New York Jets.The 39-year-old quarterback banged his hand on a helmet Jamison Crowder Jerseys 2019 , causing a cut during New York’s 27-13 loss to New England on Sunday. He had a heavy wrap on his hand as he left the locker room, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of practice Wednesday.“It’s doing better,” McCown said during a conference call Monday. “There’s still some soreness or whatnot, but feeling better.”McCown made his second straight start and went 26 of 45 for 276 yards and a touchdown with one interception in place of rookie Sam Darnold, who has been sidelined with a foot strain. The injury could keep the No. 3 overall pick sidelined for another week, but coach Todd Bowles said it’s too early to tell whether Darnold might skip another practice.“I’m not sure yet,” Bowles said. “He’s getting better, so we’ll see on Wednesday.”Darnold has not played or participated in team drills since injuring his foot at Miami on Nov. 4. Davis Webb has served as McCown’s backup in New York’s past two games.The Jets, who have lost five straight White Spencer Long Jerseys , play at Tennessee on Sunday. If Darnold sits out against the Titans, there’s hope he might be able to return for New York’s road game at Buffalo on Dec. 9.“It’ll be good for him just to play,” Bowles said. “The more games he can play, the better off he’ll be. Obviously, he’s got to get healthy first and he has to practice so he can get back and used to the routine again and then we’ll see from there. But it’s important for him to get reps.”Darnold struggled in the three games before he was injured with just two touchdown passes and seven interceptions in that span. Despite missing the past two games, Darnold still leads the NFL with 14 INTs.Bowles reiterated that the time on the field, including the struggles, will be good for Darnold moving forward into next season.“You can’t mistake the experience for not playing,” the coach said. “The more he plays Spencer Long Jerseys 2019 , the more he sees and the slower the game gets, and the faster he learns, the better off he will be.”Darnold very much remains the focus of the Jets for the future despite the overwhelming uncertainty surrounding the franchise.With the Jets struggling as the season hits the home stretch, it appears unlikely Bowles will return next year. The defense, his bread and butter, has failed to get a takeaway in a franchise-record five straight games.“It’s not mind-boggling, but you want to get them,” Bowles said. “We work on them all the time and they come in bunches. We’ve had our hand on a few. We’ve just got to come down with them.”New York allowed 498 yards against Tom Brady and the Patriots , including a whopping 215 on the ground. The Jets have also been susceptible to giving up big plays with 28 of 20 or more yards during their five-game skid.The offense has also been a major issue White Andre Roberts Jerseys , with the Jets failing to put up more than 17 points in any of their losses during that span. They have scored a total of 56 points, and that comes after New York outscored Indianapolis 42-34 in its most recent victory on Oct. 14.The Jets had 338 yards against the Patriots, but oddly ran the ball just 15 times for 74 yards while McCown threw 45 passes.“I thought he called a good game,” Bowles said of offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates.Bowles added that he has no plans to take any of the play-calling duties from Bates, whose offense ranks 29th overall in the NFL.“It’s everybody involved,” Bowles said. “It’s not just Jeremy. (It’s) the other coaches and it’s the players as well. We are all involved in that. It’s never pointed to one person.”Other than New York’s 41-10 loss to Buffalo two weeks ago, Bowles said the common thread during the skid has been an inability to close out opponents. One player being out of place in a crucial spot, not communicating and a simple lack of execution have all been culprits.One thing that has remained consistent throughout all the losing has been Bowles’ message to the team.“We have a good understanding of each other,” Bowles said. “Our communication is very clear. They understand where I am Andre Roberts Jerseys 2019 , I understand where they are, we understand where we are as a team. It’s a warrior’s sport, you’ve got to get up and play every week regardless. It’s not how many times you fall down, it’s how many times you can get up. We’re going to keep plugging.” Offensive lineman Spencer Long was released by the Jets last week, but it didn’t take him long to find a new job and he won’t have to leave the AFC East to report for duty.The Bills announced on Tuesday that they have signed Long to a three-year deal. Long’s signing comes after General Manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott talked about wanting to upgrade the team’s offensive line this offseason.Long played center and left guard for the Jets last season and didn’t have a particularly strong year, but the Bills have guard John Miller and center Ryan Groy set for free agency next month so they may be in need of both quality and quantity.The Bills also announced that they have re-signed defensive back Lafayette Pitts to a one-year deal. Pitts was set for restricted free agency after playing in all 16 games last season.
