This is where the New York Jets are at right now: Someone will start at quarterback Sunday against the Houston Texans. You never know in what has become a brutally bad year on offense for the Jets (4-8), who have lost five in a row and appear headed to a 13th straight season without a playoff appearance. Trevor Siemian could get the nod Sunday with a full week working with the starters.
Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Connor each had a goal and added an assist to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. Mark Scheifele had two assists and Laurent Brossoit stopped 42 shots for Winnipeg, which won its second straight after a three-game skid. “Today, I felt more like myself, more like I did last year,” said Brossoit, who was signed as a free agent during the offseason.
The New York Jets are waiving Tim Boyle after two starts and signing Brett Rypien off the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday in the team's latest shuffle at the quarterback position, according to a person with knowledge of the moves. Boyle mostly struggled while replacing the benched Zach Wilson the past two games. The Jets (4-8) are mired in a five-game losing streak and their offense has been unable to consistently produce with Aaron Rodgers sidelined since tearing his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with New York in the season opener.
Robert Saleh, head coach of the New York Jets, was non-committal when asked about who would start at quarterback for his side’s Week 14 game against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and now even Trevor Siemian have taken turns since Aaron Rodgers went down four plays into his debut with the Jets — and the same ineffective and, at times, inept offense keeps showing up. Siemian replaced a benched Boyle in the fourth quarter of the Jets’ latest lousy loss, dropping a 13-8 decision to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
