White suffered the injury on New York’s second drive of the game, which ended with a 19-yard touchdown pass by White to Elijah Moore. White was taken into the blue medical tent for further evaluation. It remains to be seen if he will return to the field against Indianapolis.

Josh Johnson, who briefly spelled White in the third quarter of the Jets’ Week 9 upset of the Bengals, came in under center for New York with the Colts leading early in the second quarter.
