Justin Fields will start at quarterback for the New York Jets in Week 8 on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
After a week during which coach Aaron Glenn declined to announce his starter publicly, the situation apparently became moot when Tyrod Taylor was ruled out Saturday with a knee injury, the person told the AP on condition of anonymity because the Jets didn't make an announcement.
"I wouldn't want to give [the Bengals] a competitive advantage when I have that opportunity," Glenn told reporters Wednesday.
