Overview

  • Aaron Glenn confirmed that his starters, including quarterback Justin Fields, will take the field in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay.
  • The new head coach is using live game reps to gauge his revamped roster’s performance under true game conditions.
  • Justin Fields, acquired on a two-year deal from the Pittsburgh Steelers, resumed full practices after a dislocated toe and will lead the offense in the exhibition opener.
  • This approach departs from the Jets’ recent preseason philosophies that limited starter participation in early games.
  • The decision marks an early test of Glenn’s leadership as he reshapes the franchise following a 5-12 season under Aaron Rodgers and former coach Robert Saleh.
