Overview

• Head coach Aaron Glenn said he is very confident in the passing attack and downplayed judgments based on the starters’ limited preseason snaps.
• Fields said he is fine taking 8-yard completions every play, underscoring an emphasis on possession and clock control.
• Through two preseason games, Fields is 4-of-9 for 47 yards with no attempts beyond roughly nine air yards, including a 1-for-5, 4-yard outing against the Giants.
• The Jets leaned heavily on the run in an 11-play drive versus the Giants, opening with 10 straight rushes and capping it with a 38-yard field goal, with Breece Hall and rookie backs featured and Isaiah Davis sidelined by an ankle issue.
• Former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez endorsed the ground game and advised Fields to pick his spots, as outside draft projections such as ESPN’s Field Yates suggest New York could pursue a 2026 franchise quarterback depending on results.
