Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Brett Rypien will back up Siemian. Aaron Rodgers, newly activated from injured reserve, will not serve as the No. 3 quarterback, Saleh said.
Siemian, 31, has appeared in two games in relief this season. He replaced Wilson in last Sunday's 30-0 loss at Miami, completing 14 of 26 passes for 110 yards with two interceptions.
He also played Dec. 3 in a 13-8 loss to Atlanta and was 5-of-13 passing for 66 yards.
Siemian has appeared in 37 career games and is 13-17 as a starter for four teams. He has thrown for 7,203 yards with a 58.5 percent completion rate, throwing 42 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions.
The Jets (5-9) have been eliminated from playoff contention. After Sunday's game in East Rutherford, N.J., they close the season on the road against the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots.
