\u00a0New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields remains in concussion protocol,\u00a0which puts his status in doubt for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. <\/p>\n
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that the team’s starting quarterback remained in the protocol after leaving the team’s Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. <\/p>\n
Fields fell backward when he was sacked by Joey Bosa and the back of his helmet hit the turf. He was down for a few moments before he was able to get up and walk off under his own power.<\/p>\n
He was checked out in the injury tent on the Jets’ sideline and emerged several minutes later with a towel over his head. The quarterback then walked inside to the locker room.<\/p>\n
It was a tough game for the Jets and Fields as Buffalo’s defence held them to 154 yards in the 30-10 loss. Fields was just 3 of 11 for 27 yards and ran for 49 yards on five carries before leaving the game.<\/p>\n
If Fields isn’t ready to go, Tyrod Taylor\u00a0would be in line to start against Tampa. Taylor went 7 of 11 for 56 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Ruckert, after taking over for Fields.<\/p>\n
