Report: Jets to start out QB Justin Fields; Tyrod Taylor out

Embattled Jets quarterback Justin Fields will start on Sunday at Cincinnati with backup Tyrod Taylor ruled out due to a knee injury, the New York Post reported Saturday.

Head coach Aaron Glenn has declined to name a starter all week as the Jets (0-7) prepare to face the Bengals (3-4).

According to the report, Taylor will not travel with the team and undrafted rookie Brady Cook will serve as the No. 2 signal-caller on Sunday.

Signed to a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, Fields has failed to deliver results. In the past two losses to the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, he completed a combined 15 of 29 passes for 91 yards and no touchdowns.

Fields, 26, has completed 63.7% of his passes for 845 yards, four TDs and no interceptions in six starts this season.

Taylor, 36, took over in the second half against the Panthers. He has completed 62.3% of his passes this season for 379 yards with three TDs and three picks in three games (one start).
