Jets Face Fresh Doubt on Justin Fields’ Return as Dolphins Game Nears

The Jets emphasize caution after reports that his concussion protocol progress has been difficult.

Overview

  • ESPN's Dan Graziano reported that Justin Fields' recovery in concussion protocol has not gone smoothly and that he could miss another game.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said he will not rush Fields back and wants full clarity on the quarterback's status before any return.
  • Fields sustained the concussion in Week 2 against the Bills and missed last week's game, leaving his availability for Monday night in question.
  • Tyrod Taylor started in Fields' absence and went 26-of-36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and a pick-six in a 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
  • Despite the 0-3 start, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler indicated the team expects to keep Fields as QB1 when cleared, noting the offense fit and his $20 million 2025 cash payout.
