New York Jets bench struggling quarterback Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor, AP source says

By Canadian Press on November 17, 2025.

The New York Jets will start Tyrod Taylor at quarterback over Justin Fields on Sunday at Baltimore, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.

The move by coach Aaron Glenn sends the embattled and struggling Fields to the sideline for the Jets (2-8), who are coming off a 27-14 loss at New England last Thursday night.

Glenn said last week he would evaluate all positions over the weekend, leaving the door open for a change at quarterback. And he decided to make the switch to Taylor, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team didn’t announce the move.

The Athletic first reported that the Jets were benching Fields in favor of Taylor.
