Tyrod Taylor, Justin Fields Skip Wednesday Practice
In a significant development for the New York Jets, quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields will not participate in Wednesday’s practice. Head coach Aaron Glenn made this announcement during his recent press conference, leaving the team with only Brady Cook as the active quarterback.
Quarterback Situation for Jets
With Taylor and Fields absent, Brady Cook will take center stage at practice. He is currently the only quarterback available on both the active roster and the practice squad. The Jets have not named a starting quarterback for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.
Injury Updates on Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields
Tyrod Taylor suffered a groin injury during last Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins, which led to his early exit from the game. On the other hand, Justin Fields was listed as inactive due to knee soreness. This situation left Brady Cook to make his debut in the NFL regular season, where he completed 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards but also threw two interceptions.
Impact on Running Backs
The team’s injury woes extend to the running backs as well. Breece Hall will miss practice due to knee discomfort. This could heavily influence the Jets’ offensive strategy, particularly with a rookie quarterback leading the charge.
Current Roster for Running Backs
- Brady Cook (QB)
- Breece Hall (missed practice, sore knee)
- Isaiah Davis
- Kene Nwangwu
- Khalil Herbert
As the Jets prepare for this crucial game against the Jaguars, all eyes will be on Brady Cook and how he adapts to the challenges of being the starting quarterback. The absence of both Taylor and Fields places immense pressure on the young quarterback to perform effectively.
