Jets Justin Fields Cleared Concussion Protocol Before Dolphins Game

The New York Jets have faced challenges this season with key players receiving fines and injuries impacting their performance. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams was fined nearly $29,000 for two unnecessary roughness penalties, reflecting the NFL's strict enforcement to make the game safer, with collected fines supporting the Professional Athletes Foundation. Quarterback Justin Fields started strong in Week 1 but struggled in Week 2 and missed Week 3 due to a concussion, raising concerns about his health and ability to lead the team. Despite these concerns, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced Fields has cleared concussion protocol and will start the crucial Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins, whose defense ranks as the worst in the NFL, providing Fields a significant opportunity to rebound. Backup Tyrod Taylor performed well in Fields' absence, adding to the mixed opinions among fans about who should start. The Jets remain winless but hope Fields’ return can help them secure their first victory against a struggling division rival.
