Jets' Justin Fields Cleared From Concussion Protocol, Set to Start Monday at Miami

Clearance came after full practices under the NFL’s return-to-play protocol with sign-off from an independent neurologist.

Overview

  • Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Saturday that Fields will return to the lineup for Monday Night Football against the Dolphins.
  • Fields entered the protocol after a Week 2 hit versus the Bills and sat out Week 3, then practiced fully this week before being removed from the protocol.
  • Tyrod Taylor started in Tampa Bay, completing 26 of 36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns, one interception returned for a score, and 48 rushing yards.
  • Fields opened the season with 218 passing yards and three total touchdowns in Week 1, then struggled in Week 2 before the concussion.
  • Both teams are 0-3 entering the game, and the Jets hope Fields’ return helps revive a rushing attack that has dipped since the opener.
