Jets' Justin Fields (Knee) Returns to Practice, May Back Up Cook

AutoDraft Pro AI

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields, previously sidelined by a knee injury, is set to return to practice this week. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that rookie Brady Cook will start Week 16 against the Saints, with Fields or Tyrod Taylor serving as the backup. If both are healthy enough to play, the other would be the emergency third quarterback. Fields' return to practice is a positive step, but he will not reclaim the starting role this week.
