Tyrod Taylor - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes four starts in 2025 Taylor (knee) completed 80 of 134 passes for 779 yards and a 5:5 TD:INT across six appearances (four starts) in 2025. He added 27 rushing attempts for 143 yards and one touchdown.

Impact Taylor was a more effective passer than Justin Fields (knee) or Brady Cook, but that isn't saying much on a Jets offense that didn't have a player exceed 395 receiving yards. Injuries have continued to hamper Taylor's availability, and he was available only as the emergency third quarterback due to a knee injury as the Jets' 3-14 season mercifully came to its conclusion in Week 18. The 36-year-old quarterback has proven capable enough in a backup role that he'll likely garner some interest in free agency during the offseason if Taylor regains health and chooses to continue his NFL career.

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Officially questionable for Week 18 Taylor (knee) was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor will figure to act as the primary backup to Brady Cook if cleared to suit up Week 18, while if he's unable to play, Hendon Hooker will stand to be elevated from the practice squad and handle the No. 2 role. While Taylor initially avoided an injury designation for New York's loss to the Patriots in Week 17, he was ultimate made inactive for the contest due to a personal issue and the knee injury he's been nursing since mid-December.

Limited in Thursday's practice Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor continues to work through a lingering knee injury that popped up in mid-December, so Friday's practice report should shed light on whether the veteran signal caller will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills. If Taylor is unable to play, then Hendon Hooker would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind Brady Cook.

Set to be Jets' QB2 in Week 17 Taylor (knee/personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England and will work as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open Week 17 prep Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Tuesday that Justin Fields (knee) would be shut down for the rest of the season, so Taylor will serve as the Jets' backup quarterback against the Patriots on Sunday (assuming he's healthy) while Brady Cook starts in a third straight game. Taylor would avoid an injury designation for Week 17 if he's able to practice fully by Friday.

2025 NFL Week 16 Buzz: Patrick Mahomes Begins Rehab; Andy Reid Not Retiring?

Available as backup for Week 16 Taylor (groin/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact While managing his pair of injuries, Taylor wasn't available for last week's loss to the Jaguars, paving the way for undrafted rookie Brady Cook to make his first career start. Cook is set to direct the offense once again in Week 16, but Taylor will be available to serve as the No. 2 option after he followed a pair of limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday. If Taylor is able to turn in a full slate of practices next week, he could return to the starting lineup for the Jets' penultimate game of the season against the Patriots, though Cook may retain the top job with a solid showing versus New Orleans.

Questionable, likely to be QB2 Taylor (groin/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Brady Cook has already been named the Week 16 starter, so Taylor and Justin Fields (knee) are duking it out for the right to back up the undrafted rookie Sunday. Both Taylor and Fields are listed as questionable, but Taylor appears to be the likelier of the two quarterbacks to ultimately be deemed available. Taylor said Friday that he feels good enough to play Sunday, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, while Fields described himself as week-to-week.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Taylor (groin/knee) was listed as limited at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor is now listed with a knee injury in addition to the groin injury that kept him out of this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Brady Cook made his first NFL start against the Jaguars and has already been named the starter for Sunday's game against the Saints. The healthier of Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) will work as the backup, with that race being too close to call after a pair of limited listings from both veteran quarterbacks Wednesday and Thursday.
