The New York Jets are benching quarterback Justin Field and will start Tyrod Taylor on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.
The move by coach Aaron Glenn sends the embattled and struggling Fields to the sideline for the Jets (2-8), who are coming off a 27-14 loss at New England last Thursday night.
Glenn said last week he would evaluate all positions over the weekend, leaving the door open for a change at quarterback. And he decided to make the switch to Taylor, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team didn't announce the move.
