Justin Fields Cleared to Start for Jets vs. Dolphins on Monday Night

The full-week clearance offers an 0-3 roster a chance to reset against a struggling Miami.

Overview

  • Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Fields passed the NFL concussion protocol after practicing as a full participant throughout the week.
  • Fields sustained a concussion late in the Week 2 loss to the Bills and did not play in Week 3 while completing the league’s stepwise return process.
  • Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor started against the Buccaneers in Week 3, going 26 of 36 for 197 yards with two touchdowns, one pick-six and 48 rushing yards.
  • Both the Jets and Dolphins are 0-3, with Miami ranking 25th in points scored and last in points allowed, creating a favorable matchup for a dual-threat quarterback.
  • Cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and edge rusher Jermaine Johnson did not practice and appear unlikely to play, while kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. ET Monday.
