Ailing New York Jets quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields will not practice Wednesday, with undrafted rookie Brady Cook taking all the reps, head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters.
Taylor is dealing with a groin issue that forced him to leave the 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. With demoted starter Justin Fields dealing with knee soreness, Cook made his NFL debut in relief of Taylor.
Cook, 24, was 14-of-30 passing for 163 yards with two interceptions and six sacks.
Glenn did not name Cook as the starter for the Jets (3-10) on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4) this Sunday. The opportunity for Cook to build “continuity” with the first-team offense would be invaluable for the rookie, Glenn said.
“It will be good for him, but we’ll see how this week progresses when it comes to our quarterback situation,” Glenn said.
On the season, the Jets have completed 223 of 370 pass attempts (60.3%) for 1,904 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. New York is the only NFL team not to have eclipsed the 2,000-yard passing mark.
