Injuries: Keenan Allen (hamstring) sits out practice

Sam Darnold was back at practice after missing Wednesday's session due to a toe injury.

New York Jets coach Adam Gase said Thursday morning that the quarterback would be limited in practice today and Gang Green would see how he progresses moving forward. Following practice Darnold told reporters that he felt no "really good" in practice and that his left big toe is fine.

The Jets listed Darnold as a full participant on Thursday.

Coming off a five-turnover, four-interception outing against New England on Monday night, Darnold had a damaged toenail removed.

"Toe's good," Darnold said. "Toe's really good. Working to get better every single day."

The second-year quarterback is looking to bounce back as the Jets take on the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday afternoon on the road. Getting in a practice on Thursday is a step in the right direction for Darnold.

Darnold currently is outfitted in a protective shoe.

"They're just making sure that it's protected and they're making sure that my toe and my foot feels normal," Darnold said. "They're making sure that the cleat feels normal to me like it usually does but also making sure it's protected."

As for Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley, who continues to deal with a groin injury, Gase said the team is "still trying to evaluate" the highly paid star.

"They're going through a deeper dive. They're doing what they can to get answers," Gase said, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. "...It's whatever they're going to tell us, hopefully in the next 24 hours."
