The New York Jets have shocked everyone. Ahead of their Week 15 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the AFC East club has made an unexpected announcement about Justin Fields.
On Friday, New York revealed that Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor have been ruled out for the game against Jacksonville. Without their primary quarterbacks, the Jets will have to rely on Brady Cook to guide the offense.
Although the Jets are already eliminated, the club has no intention of tanking. Unfortunately, not having either Fields or Taylor may unintentionally lead them to another loss, this time against a solid team like Jacksonville.
The future holds uncertainty for Justin Fields
Earlier this year, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, 40 million dollar contract. The club had a lot of faith in him, but so far the quarterback has not lived up to expectations and has had a very disappointing season.
Justin Fields is currently dealing with a knee injury, which is why the Jets decided to rule him out for Week 15. He has failed to stay healthy in a year that served as a big test for his continuity.
While Fields is not expected to be released next offseason, his job as QB1 is definitely in jeopardy. Even when healthy, the former Steelers player was sidelined by HC Aaron Glenn in favor of Tyrod Taylor, which is not a good sign for his status as starter.

Who is Brady Cook?
While the Jets decide what to do with Justin Fields, they will have a chance to test a rookie quarterback. Brady Cook will be in charge of the offense in Week 15 in a tough duel against the Jaguars.
Cook has only played one game this year, when the Jets lost to the Dolphins 10-34 in Week 14. He is a former Missouri player who had decent numbers in his last three seasons. Could he be a threat to Fields as an underdog who wants to show what he is really capable of?
