Overview

  • Glenn said he is confident Taylor will be available as the No. 2 quarterback for the Sept. 7 opener against the Steelers.
  • Taylor underwent arthroscopic knee surgery announced on Aug. 12 and has not practiced since late July.
  • The Jets will hold at least five practices before Week 1, and Glenn declined to specify when Taylor will resume practicing.
  • New York worked out veterans Nathan Peterman and C.J. Beathard but did not sign either after the evaluations.
  • Taylor remains the primary backup to starter Justin Fields, with Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook behind them and neither having NFL regular-season experience after inconsistent preseasons.
