US EditionBrady Cook relishing sudden stint as Jets' starting QB that came from necessity and curiosity
- For the Jets' home finale on Sunday, undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook will make his third straight start against the New England Patriots.
- Injuries to the Jets' quarterbacks left a void after Justin Fields was placed on season-ending injured reserve earlier this month and Tyrod Taylor missed time with a groin injury.
- On the field, Brady Cook has completed 59.8% of his passes for 527 yards with one touchdown and six interceptions in three games, and has been sacked 17 times including eight against the New Orleans Saints.

- A few months ago, Cook was undrafted despite one Jets pre-draft visit; he threw for 9,008 yards and 49 touchdowns at Missouri, was cut after training camp in August, then joined the practice squad.
