Justin Fields will miss his first game with Gang Green.
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Wednesday that Fields will be out for Week 3’s game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a concussion. Tyrod Taylor will make his first start for the Jets.
Fields exited Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills after taking several big hits. The QB’s head slammed into the turf on a Joey Bosa tackle in the fourth quarter, and Glenn announced after the game that Fields was in the league’s concussion protocol.
Before his exit, Fields completed just 3 of 11 passes for 27 yards in three-plus quarters. Afterward, Taylor entered and had more success, completing 7 of 11 attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown.
Fields’ disappointing play on Sunday was a stark drop from his dynamic Week 1 performance, during which he made accurate tosses and used his legs effectively. However, against Buffalo, nothing worked.
Injuries typified Fields’ career in Chicago, where he never played a full slate of games over three seasons.
Taylor, a 15-year pro, provides a veteran presence for the Jets offense. He’s not as dynamic with his legs as Fields, but he can get the ball out on time and keep the offense on schedule.
“There’s an element within him that we also have in Justin that I like a lot,” Glenn said of his backup QB on Wednesday. “The fact that he’s been in this league for a long time, there’s no coverage, there’s no pressure that he hasn’t seen. So that’s why I have confidence in him. He’s a very studious person, good athlete. Again, [he’s] been around this league for a long time. There’s no better player that you would want as your backup quarterback than him at this point in time.”
