Justin Fields’ rough Week 2 got worse, as a late concussion in the loss to Buffalo will sideline him for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leaving the New York Jets at 0-2 and scrambling for answers.
Enter Tyrod Taylor, the Jets’ backup quarterback since the start of the 2024 season. He hasn’t made a start with the team after Aaron Rodgers stayed healthy last year, but in his 15th NFL season, he brings ample experience across seven teams and 58 career starts.
Obviously, losing the starting quarterback you just paid up to $40 million for is a blow.
