"New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has a concussion and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday. Fields was placed into the league's concussion protocol after he was hit during the second half of Gang Green's Week 2 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rolling out of the pocket, the back of Fields' head bounced off the turf after being taken down by Joey Bosa."
"Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor stepped in for Fields in the fourth quarter. The veteran backup joined the Jets last season after spending the previous two years with the Giants. He is expected to start in Tampa, and the Jets could elevate Brady Cook from the practice squad to back him up."
