Brady Cook on track to start for Jets against Jaguars as he takes first-team reps again
NY Post
The Jets’ quarterback situation in Thursday’s practice appeared to be exactly what it was Wednesday, which was rookie Brady Cook taking the majority of the first-team reps.
During the portion of practice open to reporters, the only two quarterbacks wearing the red non-contact jersey were Cook, who played almost all of last Sunday’s game after starter Tyrod Taylor injured his groin, and Adrian Martinez, who the Jets this week signed as an emergency option.
Neither Taylor nor Justin Fields, who last week complained of knee soreness, were on the field during the team practice portion and remain questionable to be ready for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
“In reference to Brady, undrafted rookie free agent out of Missouri, from his time that he showed up in OTAs to now I would say that he has made a good, significant amount of progress,’’ Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand said Thursday. “We’re happy with where he’s at.’’
Other than Taylor and Fields, the Jets injury report through Thursday included RB Breece Hall (knee), TE Mason Taylor (neck), LB Quincy Williams (hand), LB Kiko Mauigoa (neck), TE Stone Smartt (concussion) and CB Azareye’h Thomas (shoulder) — all of whom didn’t practice Wednesday.
The Jets own one of the best special teams groups in the NFL this season, with an NFL-best four returns for TDs, and a strong punting and kicking game.
