Jets Coach Aaron Glenn Keeps Starting QB Decision Confidential Ahead Browns Game

The New York Jets are facing ongoing uncertainty around their starting quarterback position as they prepare for their Week 10 game against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Aaron Glenn has consistently declined to publicly name the starter, maintaining a strategy of keeping the decision "close to the vest" to avoid giving their opponents a competitive advantage. Justin Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract and recently led the Jets to their first win of the season with an impressive performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, is widely expected to start, especially given Tyrod Taylor's recent knee injury and inconsistent play. Despite Fields' strong game, which included over 500 yards of offense for the team and a touchdown pass, Glenn continues to withhold the official announcement, emphasizing that the starter will be confirmed when the Jets take the field. This cautious approach follows earlier uncertainty and public criticism of Fields from Jets owner Woody Johnson, but the coach's focus remains on managing team strategy and player confidence internally. The decision is anticipated to be revealed as the week progresses, with Glenn reaffirming his intent not to disclose the starter prematurely.
