Justin Fields Faces Scrutiny, Possible Bench

The winless New York Jets (0-6) head into Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers after a 13-11 loss in London that included nine sacks and a franchise-worst -10 net passing yards. Quarterback Justin Fields acknowledged he’s been too conservative, vowed to be more aggressive, and still hasn’t thrown an interception this season, but protection issues and limited downfield passing have stifled the offense. Coach Aaron Glenn has publicly backed Fields but admitted he “took a step back,” and multiple outlets say continued poor performances could prompt a switch to veteran Tyrod Taylor. Fields has been slowed by a leg contusion that has hindered his mobility, and he may also be without top receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) for Week 7. Offensive staff say they are working to get the ball out quicker and encourage smarter aggression as the Jets try to avoid starting 0-7.
