Who is Jets’ starting QB tonight? Week 16 update on New York’s QB situation ahead of TNF game vs Jaguars 

Between the New York Jets and the Washington Commanders, the East Coast has caught a case of quarterback return syndrome in Week 16. The Commanders are working on how to deal with Carson Wentz's return, but what's the situation in New York? With a game tonight between the Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York doesn't have time on their side.

With Mike White down with a rib injury, first-round pick Zach Wilson had a strong chance to play tonight. Will that come to pass?

Put simply, Mike White will not be under center tonight. According to ESPN, former starter Zach Wilson is expected to take over for the game. Per head coach Robert Saleh, the doctors were the ones behind the decision as they didn't clear White to play.

Will Jets QB Zach Wilson finish the 2022 season as the starter?

Despte starting the season with an injury and suffering a benching in the middle, Wilson has a chance to go the distance, but White hasn't been ruled out for the rest of the season. His status is "week-to-week" with two more games to play after Thursday Night Football. Amid a skid to 7-7 via a three-game losing streak, the team is hoping to get on a roll to wrap the season.

This season, Wilson is 5-3 as a starter. Overall, he is 8-13 in his career. This year, he's thrown for six touchdowns and six interceptions. In his career, he's thrown for 15 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. Fans get the feeling that this could be a last chance for the first-round pick, considering he was benched earlier this season.

Mike White has thrown for three touchdowns and two interceptions in his 2022 stint. In three games of action this season, he is 1-2. Overall, he's thrown for eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

With the playoffs still mathematically in the mix, the Jets are hoping to close out the season strong whether it be with Zach Wilson or Mike White.
