Aaron Glenn Holds Off Naming Jets’ Week 8 QB After Benching Justin Fields

The rookie head coach will consult other NFL coaches before selecting a starter for Cincinnati.

Overview

  • The Jets fell to 0-7 with a 13-6 loss to the Panthers as Justin Fields was benched at halftime for Tyrod Taylor.
  • Aaron Glenn said he will evaluate with his staff and seek outside guidance before deciding who starts in Week 8.
  • Tyrod Taylor threw two interceptions in relief as New York’s touchdown drought continued, including six straight games without a first-half TD.
  • New York leads the NFL with 31 sacks allowed and ranks last in passing, with Fields logging sub-50-yard passing games in three of the past six weeks.
  • With a two-year, $40 million bet on Fields faltering, fans and analysts are already looking to a potential top quarterback in the 2026 draft.
