Jets' Justin Fields Cleared From Concussion Protocol, Set to Start vs. Dolphins on Monday Night

New York turns back to its dual-threat starter in a prime-time meeting of 0-3 teams.

Overview

  • Coach Aaron Glenn said Saturday that Fields passed the NFL concussion protocol after full practices and an independent neurologist’s exam.
  • Tyrod Taylor, who started the Week 3 loss at Tampa Bay, returns to the backup role for the Miami game.
  • Fields sustained his first documented NFL concussion in Week 2 against Buffalo on a Joey Bosa hit and missed last week’s game.
  • The Jets will be without edge rusher Jermaine Johnson and recent cornerback addition Jarvis Brownlee Jr., affecting defensive depth.
  • Miami is winless with a bottom-ranked scoring defense, creating an opportunity for Fields’ passing and rushing strengths.
