Sources: Sanchez to start for Jets

What the football world expected became reality Wednesday when the Jets quarterbacks were informed that Mark Sanchez is the team's new starter, team sources confirmed to ESPN.

Sanchez will start the Jets' third preseason game against the New York Giants on Saturday night and, more important, the team's regular-season opener at Houston against the Texans.

It wasn't a question of if Sanchez would be named the starter but when. Even though he struggled some against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, the Jets have seen enough moxie and talent from Sanchez to make this year's fifth overall pick the face of the franchise and their new starting quarterback.

The designation of Sanchez as the Jets' starter was first reported by FoxSports.com.
