Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The winless Jets' quarterback picture grew murkier on Wednesday with Tyrod Taylor now considered day-to-day with a knee injury.
New York head coach Aaron Glenn, who provided the injury update, declined to say whether he is sticking with a struggling Justin Fields or making a switch to the veteran backup Taylor on Sunday at Cincinnati.
"We'll have a quarterback on Sunday, I will tell you that," Glenn told reporters on Wednesday, adding that he knows who will start under center but does not want to give the Bengals "a competitive advantage" by announcing it.
Signed to a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, Fields has failed to deliver results. During the past two losses to Carolina and Denver, he completed a combined 15 of 29 passes for 91 yards and no touchdowns.
Fields, 26, has completed 63.7% of his passes for 845 yards, four TDs and no interceptions in six starts this season.
Taylor, 36, who took over in the second half of last Sunday's 13-6 home loss to the Panthers, has completed 62.3% of his passes this season for 379 yards with three TDs and three picks in three games (one start).
Jets owner Woody Johnson weighed in on Fields' performance earlier this week.
"It's hard when you have a quarterback with the rating that we've got," he said. "He has the ability, but something is not jiving. If you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you are going to see similar results across the league. You have to play consistently at that position and that's what we're going to try to do for the remainder of the season."
The Jets (0-7) have a bye in Week 9 following their date with the Bengals (3-4).
