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.
