The New York Jets closed out their preseason on Friday night with a 19-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and after the game, head coach Aaron Glenn provided an important update on a notable injured Jets player.
Glenn told reporters he remains confident veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be ready for Week 1 despite missing the entire preseason with a knee injury that required a scope earlier this month.
That update couldn’t have come at a better time for the Jets. Backup hopefuls Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook both struggled at times this summer, and with Justin Fields prone to taking hits both in and out of the pocket, the Jets desperately need a reliable option behind him.
