Justin Fields Likely Out in Week 3 if he Doesn't Practice Wednesday and Thursday
Justin Fields (head) is in the league's concussion protocol after his head slammed to the turf in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and he's unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he is unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The head coach said it would be "hard for me as a coach" to start Field if he didn't get any practice reps on Wednesday and Thursday. With Fields in the NFL's concussion protocol this week, the Jets are preparing for the possibility of starting backup Tyrod Taylor on Sunday. Fields finished the Week 2 loss to Buffalo with a career-low 1.1 QBR after an impressive Week 1 showing. Taylor, 36, missed the entire preseason due to arthroscopic knee surgery, which raised questions about his readiness for the start of the season. He also hasn't started a game since 2023 with the Giants.
