Former Steelers QB Justin Fields Benched By Jets

The Justin Fields experience for the New York Jets could be over. In just the seventh game into a two-year, $40 million contract, Fields has been benched by head coach Aaron Glenn. Fields was yanked in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.

And now Taylor is in at QB. Fields is out.

Glenn's first major QB move as a coach. #Jets
