Jets Turn to Tyrod Taylor After Ruling Justin Fields Out for Week 3

Fields remains in concussion protocol with no return timetable.

Overview

  • Head coach Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday that Fields will miss Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay due to a concussion.
  • Taylor, 36, will make his first Jets start and his first since 2023 after relieving Fields against Buffalo and going 7-of-11 for 56 yards and a touchdown.
  • Fields sustained the injury when the back of his head hit the turf on a Joey Bosa sack late in the 30-10 loss to the Bills.
  • The Jets could elevate practice-squad quarterback Brady Cook to back up Taylor, according to multiple reports.
  • New York is 0-2 heading to face the 2-0 Buccaneers, following Fields’ sharp Week 1 debut and a 3-of-11, 27-yard performance before exiting in Week 2.
