Quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been ruled out for the preseason due to a knee injury.
Tyrod Taylor Update: Jets Backup QB Expected to Return for Week 1
Tyrod Taylor, the backup quarterback for the New York Jets, has recently undergone arthroscopic knee surgery to address a minor issue that had kept him sidelined for over a week during training camp [1][2][3]. The procedure, known as a "minor scope," is not expected to keep him out for the entire season.
Recovery and Return
Taylor is expected to miss the entire preseason due to his recovery but is hoped to be ready for the regular-season opener, which is Week 1 of the NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 7, 2025 [1][2][3]. However, Coach Aaron Glenn has expressed uncertainty about Taylor's availability for the opener, emphasizing that the next couple of weeks will determine his readiness [2][3].
Current Situation
In Taylor's absence, Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook will handle the backup quarterback duties for the Jets. The team may also consider adding another quarterback to bolster depth until Taylor returns [1][2]. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his return, Taylor is expected to be the primary backup to starting quarterback Justin Fields once he is healthy [1][3].
Career Overview
Taylor, who was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 2015 season, has had a successful career in the NFL. In 94 career games, he has thrown for 12,254 yards and 68 touchdowns with 29 interceptions, boasting a 61.9 percent completion rate [1][3]. Taylor has played for six different NFL teams: Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, and New York Jets. He last played for the Jets in the 2021 season before his knee injury [1][3].
Injury Update
Brady Cook, another quarterback for the Jets, limped off the field during a practice, but his injured ankle is not believed to be serious [1]. Coach Glenn provided updates on Taylor's injury and preseason absence after the joint practice with the New York Giants [2].
