vike daddy Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 As the 2-2 Jets prepare to face the Vikings in London, they’ve added a third quarterback to the active roster. UFL MVP (regular season and championship game) Adrian Martinez has been promoted to the 53-man roster. That gives the Jets three quarterbacks for Sunday, with Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor the others. The move suggests that Rodgers’s sore knee, while not enough to give him a designation on the final injury report, is a potential cause for concern. If the 40-year-old can’t continue, Martinez (as the emergency quarterback) would be the backup to Taylor. As noted by Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, it’s the first time this season the Jets have had a third quarterback on the 53-man roster. That’s a prerequisite to making one of them the emergency quarterback — who may only enter the game if the other two aren’t available and who must leave as soon as one of them is good to go. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jets-elevate-qb-adrian-martinez-to-active-roster-for-sundays-game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way more entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 On this day in 2009, the Vikings moved to 4-0 with Brett Favre as QB. Fifteen years later, we can love to 5-0 by beating his replacement… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 When Darnold squares off against the Jets on Sunday, Darnold will become just the second quarterback in the last 50 seasons to face the team that drafted him while 4-0 or better. (Peyton Manning did so twice.) If he becomes the first QB to win such a matchup, he’ll officially have as many victories since leaving the Jets as he did for them. https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-season-week-5-three-things-to-watch-for-jets-vikings-london-nfl-network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
