Jets coach Adam Gase could hardly contain himself when asked about a particular completion Sam Darnold made to receiver Quincy Enunwa in Thursday’s preseason game against the Falcons.

The pass went for 15 yards to Enunwa on the second offensive play from scrimmage en route to a touchdown drive.

“The throw to Quincy, I don’t know if I’ve seen many that were better in my career,’’ Gase said Tuesday. “He put it in the one spot [only Enunwa could catch it]. It was a very tight throw, and it was very accurate. It was a great throw considering a little bit of pressure in his face, and he slid [in the pocket] and wasn’t really aligned … and to throw it with that kind of accuracy was very impressive.’’

Darnold had a decent practice Tuesday, completing 10 of his 15 passes with no turnovers. He had one completion to himself, on which his throw was batted at the line of scrimmage and Darnold alertly caught it and ran.

Gase said he hasn’t decided on how long the starters will play Saturday against the Saints, but expect them to go at least the first half.

“It was always different,’’ Gase said of his routine when in Miami. “I’ve been in situations where [the starters] came out of halftime and played first drive of third quarter. And there’s been times where [the starters] came out halfway through the second quarter. It just all kind of depends on how things are going.

“We just tell the guys just be ready to go a half a series, and we’ll play off of that.’’

One starter who Gase said won’t play is running back Le’Veon Bell, so expect his workload in the next two practices to increase. Unofficially, Bell touched the ball in about half of the offensive snaps Tuesday. He did have one rare drop of a screen pass from Darnold and a botched handoff exchange.

Though Darnold was turnover free in practice, his backups didn’t fare as well. Safety Jamal Adams picked off Trevor Siemian on a long throw, and Brian Poole intercepted Luke Falk on a short sideline throw and returned it for a TD. … Kicker Taylor Bertolet was 5 of 6 on field-goal attempts and made two PATs. His only miss was a 43-yarder, but he made a 53-yarder after that. … The Jets claimed DB Derrick Kindred off waivers from the Colts on Tuesday. … Falk continues to play ahead of Davis Webb in the race for the No. 3 quarterback job. Gase said he won’t begin to decide on how many quarterbacks he’ll keep until after Saturday’s game.

“I’ve always been a fan of the more quarterbacks you can keep, the better,’’ Gase said. “We had four on the [Dolphins] roster last year for about four or five weeks. It’s the hardest position in the NFL to find and if you find guys you like, why not keep working on developing them?’’

Guard Kelechi Osemele (strained pectoral muscle) is “feeling better,’’ according to Gase, but he did not practice. Gase said he hopes to have him practice this week. Guard Brian Winters (shoulder) remained sidelined, but Gase said he feels confident Winters will practice before the regular season opener. Offensive tackle Brandon Shell (knee) did individual drills.

“There’s nothing structurally wrong,’’ Gase said. “His foot got caught in the turf [last week] and just kind of made us all a little nervous. We want to be safe with that.’’

CBs Kyron Brown (hamstring) and Trumaine Johnson (hamstring) are still not practicing. LB Jamey Mosely (knee) remained out, and WR Jeff Smith (hamstring) and LB Blake Cashman (leg) were out, but there is hope Cashman can practice at some point this week. LB Harvey Langi (knee) returned to the field.
