Overview

  • The change was first reported by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini and confirmed by outlets including the Associated Press and ESPN.
  • New York is 2-8 and ranks 32nd in passing yards per game (139.9), with USA TODAY also noting the league’s worst sack rate allowed (11.6%).
  • Fields produced 1,259 passing yards with seven touchdowns and one interception in nine starts, including 116 yards in last week’s loss to New England.
  • Taylor gets the nod against his original team after a Week 3 start at Tampa Bay in which he went 26-of-36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
  • Fields’ longer-term role is uncertain as he is under contract through 2026 with $10 million guaranteed next year and a $23 million cap charge, while reports indicate the Jets could seek a new starter in 2026 using recently added draft capital.
