On Wednesday, things went from bad to worse for the Jets.
New York is ruling quarterback Justin Fields out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a concussion, coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday morning via Rich Cimini of ESPN.
Fields, 26, has started both of the Jets' games so far—a close loss to the Steelers and a blowout loss to the Bills. He has completed 19 of his 33 pass attempts for 245 yards and a touchdown, while running for a pair of scores as well.
Replacing Fields will be Tyrod Taylor, a 15-year veteran of seven teams in his second year with New York. In three games over the course of the last two seasons, Taylor has completed 72.7% of his passes—throwing four touchdowns without an interception.
The Jets have not made the playoffs since 2010—the longest playoff drought in the four major men's North American sports.
