The New York Jets are 0-2 to start the season with losses against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.
During the loss to the Bills, Justin Fields exited the game with a concussion in the fourth quarter. He hit the back of his head on the ground after being taken down by Joey Bosa on a pass attempt.
Head coach Aaron Glenn has since ruled Fields out for the team’s upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“When it comes to injuries, one person I can just say out, right now, is Justin,” Glenn said on Wednesday. “He’s still going through his protocol, so he’ll be out.”

Fields has to clear certain steps before he can even practice again. With Fields out, Tyrod Taylor is in line to start for the Jets when they take on the undefeated Buccaneers.
Fields did not look good, like the rest of the Jets team, against the Bills. However, in the Week 1 loss to the Steelers, he played well.
Against the Steelers, he had 218 passing yards and a passing touchdown. He also had 48 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Bills dismantled the Jets, but Fields showed promise in the Week 1 loss.
Fields’ running ability figures to be a huge part of the Jets’ offense this season. He looked good passing the ball as well before the Bills made the Jets look helpless. There is currently no timeline for his return. The Jets take on the Miami Dolphins after the Buccaneers.
