Jets try out pair of veteran QBs to fill Tyrod Taylor’s injury absence
NY Post
Tyrod Taylor’s absence has the Jets rummaging for a veteran quarterback.
With just Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook — neither of whom has taken an NFL regular-season snap — 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.
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.
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.
Taylor (knee scope) is out for the remainder of the preseason but “hopefully” will be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Cook left Tuesday’s 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.
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
