The New York Jets have made the announcement that quarterback Tyrod Taylor will not be able to play against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a knee injury. This decision comes after medical evaluations confirmed that Taylor will not be able to participate in the game. As a result, second-year quarterback Justin Fields will take over as the starting quarterback for the Jets.
Justin Fields, who signed with the Jets in the offseason, is expected to carry the team’s offensive load in Taylor’s absence. The Jets’ coaching staff has expressed confidence in Fields’ ability to lead the team effectively. This game is an important one for the Jets, as they look to improve their standing in the AFC East.
