Jets head coach Aaron Glenn hasn\u2019t disclosed his plan for playing starters in this week\u2019s preseason opener against the Packers, but quarterback Justin Fields knows what he\u2019d do in that position. <\/p>\n
Fields is in his first year playing for Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, which has led to some rough days in practice during training camp. Tuesday was one of those days and Fields said there are \u201cplain and simple things\u201d the offense has to clean up to perform at the level he believes they can reach this season. In his mind, part of that process would involve seeing the field in all three of the team\u2019s preseason contests. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think we need to at least see the field each and every game,\u201d Fields said, via a transcript from the team. \u201cI think that will be good for our team, it will be good for Tanner in the in-game stuff, it will be good for me, the guys on offense. I don\u2019t think, I know some guys, they sit out the whole preseason, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case for us. Just because of the new team, new offense, and stuff like that. So, that\u2019s kind of how I feel about the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fields gave the team a scare when he had to be carted off from one practice after dislocating his toe. He was back in action quickly, but Glenn and the Jets will have to balance the need for the unit to have reps together in game situations with the possibility of injuries as they determine their ultimate plan for the exhibition season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jets head coach Aaron Glenn hasn\u2019t disclosed his plan for playing starters in this week\u2019s preseason opener against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-61110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
