New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to his concussion that he suffered in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Veteran Tyrod Taylor will start in his place in Week 3.
Fields entered the locker room in the fourth quarter and did not return to the game after being sacked by Joey Bosa.
He threw for a total of three completions for 27 yards and was sacked twice for 19 yards before exiting the game. He led the Jets in rushing yards wth 49 yards on five carries, but outside of using his legs, New York’s offense was stagnant against Buffalo.
Tyrod Taylor replaced Fields in the fourth quarter and immediately matched Fields' production, going 3-for-3 for 26 yards while also being sacked twice for 10 yards.
He finished the game completing 7-of-11 passes for 56 yards and threw a touchdown to tight end Jeremy Ruckert.
While Taylor seemed to be more accurate, the bigger issue was the Jets' offensive line being unable to contain the Bills' rush.
Justin Fields entered concussion protocol on Monday morning, head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed during the Jets' media availability.
"He's in the protocol right now," Glenn said. "It's always a hard one right now to try to evaluate until we get more information. I'm sure I'll be giving you guys more information as the week progresses."
Now, Taylor will start for New York on Sunday, hoping to get the Jets their first win of 2025.
