It’s a bad time to be a quarterback in the big city.
Jets backup quarterback Trevor Siemian is out for the season after getting hurt in his first game starting for the Jets on Monday night, coach Adam Gase revealed on Tuesday.
Siemian — who was filling in for starter Sam Darnold who is out with Mono — left Monday night’s blowout loss to the Browns with an ankle injury in the second quarter. Up to that point, Siemian had been 3-for-6 for just 3 yards.
The injury is not a broken bone, but torn ligaments. He will undergo surgery once the swelling subsides.
Luke Falk, who the Jets signed off the practice squad after the Darnold illness, finished the game, a 23-3 loss. He will be the starter until Darnold is healthy.
