New York Jets to Start Rookie QB Brady Cook vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

- On Friday, December 12, 2025, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced that Brady Cook will start Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- With Tyrod Taylor sidelined by injury, he was ruled out Friday with a groin injury, while Justin Fields was held out with knee soreness, leaving the New York Jets roster without its projected quarterbacks.
- Having limited regular-season reps, Cook went 14-for-30 for 163 yards with two interceptions and was sacked six times in Week 14 relief, while Adrian Martinez will serve as his backup.
- The Jaguars will host the New York Jets in Jacksonville, Fla., as AFC South leaders and one of the hottest teams this season face a struggling Jets squad Sunday.
- In historical context, Cook is the first undrafted rookie Jets quarterback since J.J. Jones on Dec. 15, 1975, and the second undrafted rookie to start this NFL season.
