Jets Bench Justin Fields, Name Tyrod Taylor Week 12 Starter

Glenn seeks a clearer evaluation of his offense after weeks of league-worst passing.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets including The Athletic, NFL Network and the Associated Press report that head coach Aaron Glenn has turned to Tyrod Taylor for Sunday’s game in Baltimore.
  • The Jets are 2-8 and rank last in the NFL at 139.9 passing yards per game, with Justin Fields staying under 200 yards in four of his past five starts.
  • Fields has completed 62.7% of his throws for 1,259 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception, has been sacked 27 times, and has added 383 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
  • Taylor, 36, started in Week 3 and went 26-of-36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and one interception; a subsequent knee issue delayed any prolonged move to him.
  • Team insiders frame the switch as an effort to stabilize production and assess young receivers with 2026 in mind, leaving Fields’ role for the rest of the season uncertain.
