FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Trevor Siemian will start at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday against the Washington Commanders since Zach Wilson hasn't cleared the concussion protocol.
It appeared likely the 31-year-old Siemian would be under center after Wilson didn't participate in the first two walkthrough practices this week.
Brett Rypien will serve as Siemian's backup in a matchup of the Jets' 32nd-ranked offense against the Commanders' NFL-worst defense.
Coach Robert Saleh said Aaron Rodgers would not be designated the emergency No. 3 quarterback. Rodgers was activated from injured reserve on Wednesday to continue to practice during his rehabilitation from a torn Achilles tendon.
