After taking the NFL world by storm in his first start last week, Jets quarterback Mike White’s second start didn’t go quite as well.
White, who led the Jets to a 34-31 upset of the Bengals in Week 8, left his Week 9 start against the Colts at the end of the first quarter Thursday. According to the Fox broadcast, White suffered an injury to his throwing arm.
