Jets' Justin Fields Enters Concussion Protocol, Tyrod Taylor Prepped for Week 3

Aaron Glenn says practice reps plus medical clearance will determine the Week 3 starter.

Overview

  • Fields exited early in the fourth quarter after a Joey Bosa sack drove the back of his helmet to the turf and he was placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
  • The Jets will install parallel plans for Tampa Bay with Taylor prepared to start if Fields isn’t cleared, with Glenn stressing it’s unlikely to play a QB who hasn’t practiced by Friday.
  • Taylor replaced Fields and went 7-of-11 for 56 yards and a touchdown to Jeremy Ruckert, and the staff expressed confidence despite his missed preseason following knee surgery.
  • Undrafted rookie Brady Cook could be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth if Fields is unavailable.
  • New York fell to 0-2 with a 30-10 loss to Buffalo as Glenn condemned the performance and emphasized urgency and accountability after an anemic offensive showing.
