Tyrod Taylor\u2019s absence has the Jets rummaging for a veteran quarterback.<\/p>\n

With just Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook \u2014 neither of whom has taken an NFL regular-season snap \u2014 available behind Justin Fields and two games to play in the next eight days, the Jets had C.J. Beathard and Nathan Peterman in for tryouts Thursday.<\/p>\n

Beathard is 3-10 as a starter in his career and last played in a game in 2023. He bounced around last season, sandwiching two stints on the Jaguars around time with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Peterman is 1-4 as a starter in his career, which includes a dubious five-interception game in his first career start in 2017. He has made one start since 2018, last attempting a pass in 2022 with the Bears, though he was on the Falcons practice squad last season at the end of a three-time journey that also included stops with the Saints and Raiders in 2024.<\/p>\n

Taylor (knee scope) is out for the remainder of the preseason<\/a> but \u201chopefully\u201d will be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.<\/p>\n

Cook left Tuesday\u2019s practice on a cart with an ankle injury but returned to the stretch line Wednesday. He was held out of practice, but Glenn expects him to play Saturday against the Giants.<\/p>\n

The Jets also worked out running back Tyreik McAllister and tight end Kole Taylor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyrod Taylor\u2019s absence has the Jets rummaging for a veteran quarterback.
