Mike White has been cleared by doctors and will start at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday in Seattle, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.

That authorization came Monday, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the results of White’s exam.
The New York Post first reported that White had been cleared and will start Sunday.

Zach Wilson started the last two games in White’s absence, but battled hard. He was replaced by quarterback Chris Streveler, promoted from the practice squad before the game, to spark the Jets in their 19-3 loss to Jacksonville last Thursday night.
