FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' quarterback situation is so dire that they might be forced into something they haven't done in a half-century.
Start an undrafted rookie
With Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) nursing injuries, rookie Brady Cook is trending toward his first NFL start. Coach Aaron Glenn, who tends to keep things close to the vest, hasn't announced his plans for Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4) at EverBank Stadium.
Taylor, injured Sunday, is considered a long shot to play. Fields, benched three weeks ago, hasn't practiced since last Thursday because of what Glenn described as "soreness."
That leaves Brady Cook, a three-year starter at Missouri who signed a free agent contract with the Jets after the 2025 draft.
The last time the Jets rolled out an undrafted rookie as their starting quarterback?
It was Dec. 15, 1975, when J.J. Jones started for the injured Joe Namath, who wound up playing anyway. Jones, out of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, lasted only a few series, finishing with as many completions as interceptions -- one.
