Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook will make his first career NFL start on Sunday against the host Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Aaron Glenn announced Friday.
Cook, 24, is being given the opportunity with fellow quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields ruled out due to their respective injuries. Taylor is dealing with a groin issue that forced him to leave the 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday, while Fields is being plagued by knee soreness.
'Tyrod will be out, Justin will be out,' Glenn said. 'That means Brady will be our starting quarterback this week.'
Adrian Martinez, who signed with the Jets (3-10) on Wednesday, will serve as Cook's backup on Sunday versus the Jaguars (9-4).
Cook made his NFL debut in relief of Taylor last Sunday, completing 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards with two interceptions and six sacks.
'Now this week, he has had a chance to get all the reps with the (starters), get a chance to communicate with the O-Line, with the receivers, with the tight ends, with the coaching staff on exactly how we want to play this game,' Glenn said of Cook.
'I have all the confidence in the world. That's something I've stated from the very beginning. He'll be a good player in this league and he'll have his opportunity again this week.'
On the season, the Jets have completed 223 of 370 pass attempts (60.3%) for 1,904 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. New York is the only NFL team not to have eclipsed the 2,000-yard passing mark.
