Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Anthony Richardson Sr.

Wednesday, December 10, 1:42 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. Fields came down with a sore knee last week and was held out of the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The 26-year-old, who has lost the starting QB job, is in danger of missing a second straight game this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars unless he can get back on the field in the next two days. Tyrod Taylor (groin) isn't practicing on Monday either, after getting injured in Sunday's loss to Miami. There's a scenario where Fields could make the start this weekend if he's able to get past his knee injury and Taylor is ruled out. If both Taylor and Fields aren't cleared to play in Week 15, undrafted rookie Brady Cook would make his first NFL start. That would be bad news for all of New York's offensive skill players.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) was present at Wednesday's practice for the first time in weeks, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that Richardson wouldn't be activated off Injured Reserve this week, but he also hasn't been ruled out for the season. It's a positive development for the 2023 fourth overall pick, who suffered an orbital fracture in pre-game warmups before the Colts' Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. With Daniel Jones out for the season with a torn Achilles and rookie Riley Leonard's status up in the air due to a knee injury, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers on Tuesday, and he could start as soon as Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Richardson is still in play to return this season, though his timeline is uncertain. His status will be worth monitoring now that he is seemingly getting closer to making a return.
