"Fields suffered the injury during the second half of New York's blowout loss on Sunday. Rolling from the pocket, he was caught from behind around the waist by Bills defensive end Joey Bosa just as he got rid of the ball. As he was brought to the ground, Fields spun and his head thumped against the turf. He was checked out in the injury tent on the sideline, then walked to the locker room to be evaluated further."
"Fields was a non-factor in his second game with the Jets. He completed just three of 11 passes for 27 yards and added another 49 on the ground. It was a considerable regression from his promising debut just one week earlier at MetLife Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old completed 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 48 yards and two additional scores."
Justin Fields was placed in concussion protocol after sustaining a helmet impact late in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The hit occurred when Joey Bosa caught Fields from behind as he released the ball, causing Fields' head to strike the turf; he was evaluated in the injury tent and walked to the locker room. Tyrod Taylor replaced Fields with 12:03 remaining while the Bills led 30-3. Fields completed 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards and rushed for 49 yards, a notable regression from his Week 1 performance. Fields signed a two-year deal to join the Jets; if unavailable for Week 3, Taylor would start and Brady Cook could be elevated to backup.
