Jets Quarterback Fields Ruled Out with Concussion
Veteran Tyrod Taylor, known for a 1.6% interception rate, will start as Jets' offense seeks stability after Justin Fields' concussion in Week 2 loss, coach Aaron Glenn confirmed.
- On Wednesday, September 17, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that quarterback Justin Fields will be sidelined due to a concussion and will not participate in the upcoming road game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- During the fourth quarter of the Jets' 30-10 defeat to Buffalo last Sunday, Fields was injured when Joey Bosa's sack caused the back of his helmet to strike the turf.
- Tyrod Taylor, who signed last year as Aaron Rodgers' backup, will start in place of Fields despite missing the preseason due to knee surgery.
- Glenn highlighted Taylor's extensive 14-plus-year NFL experience, noting that he has encountered virtually every defensive scenario and high-pressure situation, and described him as the perfect choice for a backup quarterback.
- The winless Jets are aiming to prevent starting the season with three consecutive losses for the first time since 2021, while coach Glenn confirmed that Fields will likely miss at least a week and that several other players remain under evaluation.
