Aaron Glenn Announces Desperate QB Decision Amid Justin Fields’ Injury Woes

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn just dropped a desperate QB decision ahead of the showdown against the Miami Dolphins. Justin Fields will start, per the head coach. But Fields only had one full practice this week and stuck to non-contact drills. 

The guy hasn’t fully cleared the concussion protocol yet, but Glenn is rolling the dice. Tyrod Taylor, the backup, is clearly past his prime and hasn’t proven he can deliver the big win the Jets so badly need. It’s a classic case of going with the lesser of two evils.

Fields took a hit late in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills and has battled his way back. Thursday’s practice was a good sign, listed as a full participant, but an independent neurologist still needed to give the thumbs-up. The Jets’ playoff hopes might hinge on whether Fields can actually play at full speed after such a short recovery.

Glenn knows it’s a gamble, but desperation runs deep in New York’s locker room. They want a win, and Fields is their best shot, even if he’s not 100 per cent.
