Darnold is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder. The last time he spoke, Darnold said that he was in a good amount of pain and his range of motion wasn’t all there. So there is no real timetable for Darnold at the moment, as the healing process just needs to run its course.

That said, Gase admitted it will be hard to keep Darnold off the practice and game fields once he believes he can go – even if he isn’t 100 percent.

“It’s really just the healing process that he’s going through right now and kind of how he would feel going out to practice and throwing and how far he can throw and kind how that would look,” Gase said. “They’re trying to proceed with that to determine where he’s at with all that.”

Speaking on ESPN's The Michael Kay Show on Monday, Darnold said he feels pain "every now and then," and that he will hopefully "get to practice this week and play on Sunday."

Becton played on an “emergency basis” last week against the Denver Broncos, which worsened his shoulder injury. With Chuma Edoga taking over that role at left tackle, the Jets are just making sure that their first-round pick this year is healthy before he comes back this time.

The Jets also didn’t leave Sunday without any new injuries.

Wide receiver Chris Hogan has a high ankle sprain. Gase didn’t provide a timetable for a return, saying additional tests to further understand the severity of the injury had to take place. But that sort of injury will mean Hogan is at least out for next week – another tough blow for the wide receiving corps.

The wide receivers are notoriously banged up for the Jets this season, with rookie Denzel Mims still yet to make his NFL debut due to a hamstring injury. Breshad Perriman has also missed the last three games with his own injury. Now the Jets will need to rely on their depth even more with Hogan, who was already covering for those two, out.
