US EditionJustin Fields to start for Jets against Dolphins after clearing concussion protocol
Justin Fields returns as starting quarterback after clearing concussion protocol, aiming to help Jets avoid a 0-4 start with a $40 million contract backing his impact.
- On Saturday, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced that Justin Fields was cleared late Friday and will start Monday against the Miami Dolphins.
- After suffering the hit in Week 2, Justin Fields missed Week 3 and spent more than a week in the NFL concussion protocol before returning to full practice last week.
- In Week 1, Justin Fields completed 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown while rushing for two touchdowns, highlighting his dual-threat value.
- With both clubs 0-3, the New York Jets hope Justin Fields' presence avoids a 0-4 start while Tyrod Taylor returns to backup and Jermaine Johnson and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. sit out.
- Given Miami's defensive struggles, Justin Fields faces an exploitable Dolphins defense with pass and run weaknesses that could steady the Jets' 0-3 start and support his one-year audition.
