The Eagles are preparing to face the Atlanta Falcons this week, but it should be noted that one of Philadelphia's future rivals received bad news on Thursday.
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will not play Week 2 and could miss several extra weeks with Mononucleosi (Mono), according to head coach Adam Gase. This development concerns the Eagles, who host the Jets in the fifth week.
It seems that Darnold might be able to get back on time for the trip to Lincoln Financial Field:
the #Jets have a bye in week 4, which now looks lucky. Coach Adam Gase said quarterback Sam Darnold may miss several weeks, leaving week 5 against #Eagles as possible return date.

Otherwise, Trevor Siemian will probably be the starting quarterback of the Jets for this match. It is obvious that Siemian has experience – he is 13-11 as a starter – but he is also ranked 79.9 as a smuggler. Not great.
Another bad news for the Jets, the attacking midfielder Le'Veon Bell will not train on Thursday, when he gets an MRI on his shoudler. Bell could do very well in the 5th week, but who knows with the luck of the Jets?
Chris Herndon and starting catcher Quincy Enunwa are two of the two players who will definitely play in the Eagles vs. Jets game. Herndon and Enunwa were two of the top three receivers of the Jets in 2018.
Herndon will serve the last game of his suspension. Enunwa is absent for the season due to a neck injury suffered during the first week. These absences can only be beneficial for the Eagles who wish to extend their all-time lead against the Jets at 11-0.
It is safe to say that former Eagles vice president of staff and current Jets GM Joe Douglas is facing a lot of adversity in his new job.
