EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who missed the preseason due to arthroscopic knee surgery, will be back for the season opener.
"I'm confident he'll be ready for Week 1," coach Aaron Glenn said Friday night after the Jets' 19-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium.
There had been some uncertainty about Taylor's availability. When Glenn announced the surgery on Aug. 12, he said Taylor would "hopefully" return in time to serve as the No. 2 quarterback in the Sept. 7 opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
