Jets' QB Plan Uncertain as Taylor, Fields Sit; Rookie Brady Cook Runs First-Team Practice

A depth signing signals contingency planning with the starter to be named after health reviews.

Overview

  • Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) did not practice Wednesday and will be evaluated later in the week, leaving the Week 15 starter undecided.
  • Undrafted rookie Brady Cook took all first-team snaps and could start at Jacksonville after debuting last week with 14-of-30 passing for 163 yards and two interceptions under heavy pressure.
  • New York signed Adrian Martinez to the practice squad for quarterback depth, and if Taylor and Fields are unavailable the Jets would have Cook and Martinez for Sunday.
  • The team did not hold outside quarterback workouts earlier in the week, which some reports interpreted as a sign the Jets expect one of the veterans to be available.
  • Roster updates included signing DL Eric Watts to the active roster and placing rookie Tyler Baron on injured reserve, with WR Garrett Wilson not yet cleared to practice as the 3-10 Jets play out the stretch.
