Jets Rule Out Justin Fields for Week 14, Elevate Rookie Brady Cook to Backup

The move reflects the team's ongoing evaluation of its passing game under Tyrod Taylor.

Overview

  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said Justin Fields reported knee soreness on Wednesday and will not be active against the Dolphins.
  • Undrafted rookie Brady Cook has been named QB2 and would make his NFL debut if Tyrod Taylor cannot finish the game.
  • Tyrod Taylor remains the starter, consistent with the team’s midseason shift to stabilize the passing attack.
  • Fields has not played since being benched in mid-November and his status beyond Week 14 will depend on how the knee responds.
  • Cook, a former Missouri quarterback, completed 25 of 38 passes for 235 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the preseason.
