Report; Jets Benching Justin Fields For Tyrod Taylor

A person with knowledge of the decision says the New York Jets will start Tyrod Taylor at quarterback over Justin Fields on Sunday. The move Monday by coach Aaron Glenn sends the embattled and struggling Fields to the sideline for the Jets, who are coming off a 27-14 loss to New England last Thursday night. Glenn said last week he would evaluate all positions, including quarterback, and then decided to make the switch to Taylor, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Monday because the team didn’t announce the move. The Athletic first reported that the Jets were benching Fields in favor of Taylor.
