"New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields remains in concussion protocol and will not play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. First-year coach Aaron Glenn announced Wednesday that veteran Tyrod Taylor will start under center for the winless Jets in their first road game of the season. Glenn said earlier this week that the Jets were preparing for the possibility of Taylor starting."
"Fields suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, when the back of his helmet slammed to the turf on a hit by Buffalo's Joey Bosa. The NFL has a five-step protocol for concussions, and the player must be cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to action. Taylor, 36, has 58 career starts, but he hasn't started a game since 2023 with the New York Giants."
Justin Fields remains in concussion protocol and will not play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. First-year coach Aaron Glenn named veteran Tyrod Taylor the starter for the winless Jets' first road game. Fields suffered a concussion late in the 30-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills when the back of his helmet slammed to the turf on a hit by Joey Bosa. The NFL requires a five-step concussion protocol and independent neurologist clearance before return to play. Taylor, 36, has 58 career starts, hadn't started since 2023, and spent last season mainly on the bench behind Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are aiming to avoid an 0-3 start.
