FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook will make his first NFL start Sunday for the New York Jets against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
Cook took the snaps with the starters this week and coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday that Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields were ruled out for the game. Neither practiced during the week while dealing with injuries.
Adrian Martinez, who was signed earlier this week, will serve as the backup to Cook.
Cook will become the 55th player to start at quarterback in franchise history, and the first undrafted rookie to do so for the Jets since J.J. Jones in 1975.
Taylor made his third straight start for the benched Fields last Sunday before injuring his groin late in the first quarter of the Jets’ 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins . Co
