Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Garrett Wilson

Friday, December 5, 12:07 PM

New York Jets backup quarterback Justin Fields (knee), who reported soreness in his knee on Wednesday, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the division-rival Miami Dolphins, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Rookie Brady Cook will serve as the backup to veteran Tyrod Taylor. Fields began the year as the Jets' starting QB, but he has been benched for the last two games in favor of Taylor, who has given the passing attack a small boost. The 26-year-old Fields' disappointing 2025 season will hit a new low point now that he's out with an injury. Even when Fields returns from his knee injury, it seems likely that the Jets will close out the year with Taylor starting under center. In his nine starts in his first year in New York, Fields completed 62.7% of his 204 pass attempts for just 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception while adding 71 rushing attempts for 383 yards and four more TDs.

While New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is eligible to return from IR in Week 15, head coach Aaron Glenn has offered no update on his status. Wilson has been shelved since Week 10 after reaggravating a knee injury he picked up back in Week 6. Although he's technically available to be reinstated from injured reserve, Glenn notes that "it will be a medical decision between Wilson and the doctors" that would afford him clearance to return to the field. As it stands, it's no guarantee that the Ohio State alum suits up again this season, particularly with New York's playoff dreams officially quashed. If he's forced to miss a fifth straight game, teammates John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell would continue leading the Jets' pass attack when they square off with the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars next Sunday.
