Jets Stick With Rookie Brady Cook at QB for Home Finale vs. Patriots

New York keeps the undrafted passer in place to gauge his development after Justin Fields went on injured reserve.

Overview

  • Cook will make his third straight start as Tyrod Taylor returns to health but remains the backup for Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
  • Through three games, Cook has completed 59.8% of his passes for 527 yards with one touchdown, six interceptions and 17 sacks.
  • Coaches describe a focus on growth, simplifying reads and quicker decisions as they try to cut down sacks and turnovers.
  • The Missouri product went undrafted, was cut after camp and promoted from the practice squad, becoming the Jets’ first undrafted rookie QB to start since 1973.
  • Coach Aaron Glenn says the team is evaluating Cook’s progress as it shapes offseason quarterback plans, with outside additions expected and his long‑term role unsettled.
