Jets Weigh Week 15 Starter as Injuries Hit Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields

Coach Aaron Glenn says he will start the quarterback he believes gives the Jets the best chance to win.

Overview

  • Tyrod Taylor exited the 34-10 loss to Miami with a groin injury and is being evaluated, leaving his short‑term availability uncertain.
  • Justin Fields was inactive with knee soreness and has not played since mid-November, and Aaron Glenn declined to commit to him even if he proves the healthier veteran.
  • Undrafted rookie Brady Cook debuted at quarterback and went 14-of-30 for 163 yards with two interceptions and six sacks in relief.
  • Because Cook has already been elevated three times from the practice squad, another game appearance would require the Jets to sign him to the 53-man roster.
  • Glenn plans to review medical updates and settle on a starter by midweek for the Jaguars game, as the 3-10 Jets were eliminated from playoff contention and continue to grapple with broader issues including third‑down woes, turnovers and a leaky run defense.
