Jets' Aaron Glenn QB update, plus new player signed at position
Both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) are injured. Brady Cook was dinged up last week but is evidently healthy ahead of the Jets (3-10) visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4) in Week 15. It's still unclear who will be part of the Jets' lineup on Sunday in terms of those injured players, but we have an insurance policy.
Head coach Aaron Glenn sits down with team reporter Eric Allen for a discussion about the Week 15 matchup between the Jets and Jaguars. Watch Jets Gameday Sundays at 7:30 a.m. on CBS 2 New York.
Glenn clearly hired the right special teams coordinator in Chris Banjo. Offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand has shown signs of creativity. Wilks is the biggest question mark on Glenn’s staff.
Johnson is tied for third on the Jets in sacks with Jowon Briggs. Will McDonald IV (7.0) and Quincy Williams (3.5) have been more productive. Johnson does rank second in pressures (32), trailing McDonald by just one pressure (33) for the team lead. Johnson is signed through 2026 after the Jets exercised his fifth-year option.

Why Jets' Aaron Glenn took blame for loss to the Dolphins
The Jets (3-10) lost 34-10 to the Dolphins (6-7) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Aside from New York's special teams unit, which scored a touchdown again, the Jets were outplayed across the board. The loss ended up being the final nail for the team's postseason status as well.
But the players take their cues from the coaches. Aaron Glenn came to the Jets' head coaching position espousing the importance of special teams and has continued through the season to tout his players and his staff, led by first-year coordinator Chris Banjo, who have made those special things happen.
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn had an alarming confession after the team's loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Jets' Aaron Glenn says he and owner Woody Johnson on same page for building foundation in 2-9 season
The first-year head coach has stressed building a foundation for the franchise, which Johnson has overseen as the owner since 2000. During a 2-9 season that has extended the Jets' playoff drought to an NFL-leading 15 years that includes 10 straight losing records, staying optimistic about the future might be false hope to some.
The New York Jets' progress under Aaron Glenn is starting to resemble one of the NFL's most remarkable turnarounds in recent memory.
