Jets Tie Week 4 QB Call to Fields’ Concussion Clearance

Coach Aaron Glenn says Justin Fields remains the starter once cleared, leaving the Dolphins game contingent on protocol progress.

Overview

  • Justin Fields is still in the NFL concussion protocol after his Week 2 injury and did not play in the Week 3 loss at Tampa Bay.
  • Aaron Glenn reiterated that Fields entered as the team’s starter and said he will announce the plan only after medical clearance.
  • Tyrod Taylor started in Week 3, going 26-of-36 for 197 yards and two touchdowns with a fumble and a pick-six in the first half.
  • The Jets fell to 0-3 with a 29-27 defeat decided by Chase McLaughlin’s 36-yard field goal as time expired.
  • If Fields is not cleared for Monday night in Miami, Taylor would start, as the team’s offseason investment in Fields (two years, $40 million with $30 million guaranteed) underscores his QB1 standing.
