Overview

  • Aaron Glenn said he is confident Taylor will be available for the Sept. 7 opener, speaking after the Jets’ 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.
  • Taylor missed the entire preseason following arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be rusty after a month-long practice layoff.
  • The 36-year-old is slated as Justin Fields’ primary backup once cleared to return.
  • Rookies Brady Cook and Adrian Martinez, who have no NFL regular-season snaps, were inconsistent in August, combining for three interceptions.
  • New York recently worked out veterans Nathan Peterman and C.J. Beathard, and some analysts suggest signing an experienced No. 3 for the practice squad.
