Tyrod Taylor OUT for Sunday, Justin Fields set to Start

Justin Fields may have thought he’d never line up under center for the New York Jets again following a public dressing down from owner Woody Johnson, but that didn’t last long.

#Jets owner Woody Johnson: "It’s hard when you have a quarterback with the rating that we’ve got. … If you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you’re going to see similar results. …If we can just complete a pass, it would look good." pic.twitter.com/5fN0dsVEUl

Having said earlier in the week that Tyrod Taylor was a possibility to start while also nursing a persistent knee injury, Aaron Glenn has ruled Taylor out for Sunday, meaning Fields gets the nod to start once again.
