Justin Fields to Start at QB for Jets with Tyrod Taylor Ruled Out Against Bengals

Tyrod Taylor was ruled out Saturday with a knee injury, and Justin Fields will start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, a source said.
Having missed much of training camp after summer surgery, Tyrod Taylor said he took a helmet to his surgically repaired knee last week and was limited in practice, listed questionable on Friday.
Justin Fields has struggled this season, signing a two-year, $40 million contract while the Jets are 0-7 and he averages 140.8 passing yards, and he was benched last Sunday after a poor first half.
With Taylor not making the trip to Cincinnati, undrafted rookie Brady Cook will serve as backup, ending Jets coach Aaron Glenn's weeklong secrecy about the starter.
Amid offensive struggles, the New York Jets offense has managed only seven touchdowns in six games and averages 18.4 points per game, while Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor split reps throughout the week, highlighting ongoing quarterback uncertainty.
