Darnold (illness) will return to practice Wednesday and increase his cardio activity, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Although he hasn't been cleared for contact, Darnold is taking a major step forward as he works his way back from mononucleosis, an illness that often causes fatigue even after other symptoms have diminished. Per Hughes coach Adam Gase said the Jets could wait until early Sunday to make a final decision on Darnold's availability for their 1 p.m. EDT game in Philadelphia. The quarterback presumably will be listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.
