Jets turning to undrafted Brady Cook in nightmare quarterback season
NY Post
Brady Cook will get his first career start Sunday after all.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that the undrafted rookie free agent will get the nod against the Jaguars with Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) both ruled out.
Adrian Martinez, signed back to the practice squad this week, will serve as Cooks’ backup.
It marks just the latest wrinkle in the Jets’ season of quarterback uncertainty and shuffling.
When Taylor exited their loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, Cook took over and completed 14-of-30 passes for 163 yards and a pair of interceptions.
“I think he was comfortable even last week going into the game — just a tough situation with him not getting the chance to get all the reps,” Glenn said Friday. “But now this week, he’s had a chance to get all the reps with the ones, get a chance to communicate with the O-line, with the receivers, with the tight ends, with the coaching staff on exactly how we want to go about playing this game.
