Darnold ruled out for Monday
-
Darnold had "Mono"... a/k/a "the kissing disease"...
Trevor Siemian, recent Elway savior turned castoff, is the NYJ backup. Numbers he racked up in Denver are decent... for a backup.
And our history vs. backups is littered with bad results. Once upon a time it seemed that whenever we knocked out a starter, the #2 beat us.
I doubt Gase is going to put the game on Trevor's shoulders. Expect them to "pound the rock" early and often.

Fer sure Tour. Expect a heavy dose of our old Steeler pal Le'Veon Bell.... Who's also ailing... Couple other Jets grounded too... If we can't beat this team... Well, it just might be time for us to push the panic button....

Mono can really knock you down and sap your strength. Darnold may miss a few more games before he’s up to snuff.
-
"In addition to Sam Darnold being out against the Browns with mono, Le’Veon Bell isn’t practicing Thursday because of a sore shoulder and will get an MRI exam, head coach Adam Gase said, leaving his status for Week 2 up in the air."

WebMD.....
Mononucleosis, often called "mono," is an illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. When mono occurs during adolescence or adulthood, symptoms are more severe --high fever that can last up to three weeks, swollen lymph glands in the back of the neck, and severe sore throat. Rare but major complications that can develop from mono include rupture of the spleen.

The Jets might be screwed for awhile.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
I don’t know how much of a difference Sam Darnold makes. I was banking on a fumble and a couple errant throws in the second half when they Time actually calls for him to throw the ball down field.
espn loves them some Darnold but the jets have protected him for over a year now and the offense has always been very safe and QB friendly
Like his backup we have to be ready for the dunk and dunk offense.
The problem with Mono your organs are under stress specifically the spleen if you have a bad case it’s enlarged and one hit to the area and you are in surgery for a ruptured spleen

My buddy got mono senior year high school (12 years ago, to be fair) and they would absolutely not let him play football (or any contact sport) for a month based on his spleen being "sensitive". That didn't have to do with his case being severe, just standard practice, On top of that as you've noted, this really has almost pneumonia type symptoms. I have zero clue how they treat this nowadays, but I'd bet he misses a full month.

This is now the perfect storm. The Monday night, the backup QB, the being favored to win....
This is Scott Mitchell against the Browns in 1993 all over again. Oh yeah, I totally remember. Dan Marino gets injured and Browns are going to win the game, but nooooo....Scott Mitchell comes in and somehow leads the Dolphins to victory. Anybody know the Browns record against backup QBs? Isn't it like 1-107, with the one victory coming against Charlie Whitehurst and the Titans? We ALWAYS make backup QBs look like Kurt Warner and I hope to God it doesn't happen again. In fact, I'd RATHER play Sam Darnold than Simien, and it's not close. Darnold completed 56 passes last week for 116 yards or something like that. I'm totally cool with that, but what I DON'T want is some guy coming in with something to prove who is going to push the ball all over the field (or at least try to).
Laugh all you want, but this sounds like it could be the Brownsiest game ever. Lord I hope not.

Trust me, we're all thinking this I feel haha. It may end being a good thing for this game in particular they got embarrassed last week, cause they'll still be coming out hungry.
Rob Ninkovich had the line of the day on NFL Live...
"Mono? What is this High School?"
Fans I'm sure are going to get creative in the heckles, that's for sure. Doesn't help Sam still looks 16 years old in the face.

to make matters worse, it appears bell may not be able to go, but not 100 percent sure at this time...i have seen this time and time again...this looks like a recipe for disaster for the browns....they will as you say, run run run and rely on their d which is quite good....this game will be closer than anyone thinks..

It's a viral infection- there's still no effective way to treat it, other than doing symptomatic relief stuff.....
"Because your spleen may become enlarged as a result of infectious mononucleosis, you should avoid contact sports until you fully recover. Participating in contact sports can be strenuous and may cause the spleen to rupture." You can bet the Jets Docs will do an ultrasound on Sam to check on his spleen before they let him resume contact...
A ruptured spleen can be life threatening due to internal blood loss....
