Sam Darnold and Adam Gase are on record. Here are three thoughts related to the possibility of the Philadelphia Eagles seeing Darnold in Week 5.

Perhaps one of the biggest storylines as the Philadelphia Eagles inch closer to Week 5 and another home game at Lincoln Financial Field is the status of the other team’s quarterback. With all due respect to the seriousness of Sam Darnold‘s illness, it’s hard not to think about things like winning a football game and what needs to be done to prevent the Eagles from falling below a .500 record.

Darnold was diagnosed with mononucleosis back on September 12th. He hasn’t been able to do anything football related since. Sunday will be here before you know it. The question that both the Eagles and the New York Jets (and most of the fans of both teams) have is this. Will Bradford be able to go in this one?

Here are three immediate thoughts that come to mind.
