Mike White will start for the New York Jets this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks after being cleared by doctors.

Zach Wilson will be inactive, meaning he may never play again for the team that drafted him second overall in 2021. Joe Flacco will serve as White's backup.

White missed two games after fracturing at least two ribs on a Dec. 11 against the Buffalo Bills.

The Jets are still alive in the AFC playoff race.

Miles Austin has been suspended for at least one year for violating the NFL's gambling policy.

Austin is wide receivers coach of the New York Jets.

There is no indication Austin bet on NFL games as a coach, but bet on other sports which is a violation of personnel gambling policy. 

Zach Wilson was benched in favor of Chris Streveler in the third quarter of the New York Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.

Despite the move, Robert Saleh says Wilson still has a chance to be the quarterback of the future for the Jets.

"We haven't seen the last of him. But right now he's just got to focus on finding ways to get better, and we've got to find ways to help him," Saleh said. "It's not just him, it's collective, and we've all got to find ways to get better."

The Jets have seen their playoff hopes greatly reduced amid a four-game losing streak.

The New York Jets expect Mike White to be healthy enough to face the Detroit Lions in Week 15.

White has undergone a battery of tests for a rib injury, including X-rays and a CT scan. The Jets declined to disclose the specific nature of the quarterback's injury, but Robert Saleh sounded confident that White will start for the fourth time since replacing Zach Wilson.

"We're proceeding as if he's going to be a full participant [in practice] and play in the game on Sunday," Saleh said.

White absorbed two vicious blows Sunday in a 20-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills, forcing him to the sideline after each one. 

James Robinson wasn't happy after being a healthy scratch for the New York Jets on Sunday.

The Jets acquired Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade on Oct. 24.

"Obviously, I didn't come here not to play," Robinson said. "Obviously, they brought me here for a reason. I don't expect anything unless I work for it, and I've been working my ass off. Me not playing pisses me off."

Robert Saleh replaced Robinson with rookie Zonovan Knight, who recorded 103 yards from scrimmage in his debut -- a 31-10 win over the Chicago Bears.

Robinson said he was informed last Wednesday by running backs coach Taylor Embree that he would be inactive against the Bears.

"Obviously, I was upset about it," he said. "I don't know what they have planned for me."
