The Jets will have a quarterback question hanging over the rest of the preseason.
Backup veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor underwent arthroscopic knee surgery for an issue that has sidelined him for multiple practices, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced Tuesday.
Taylor, 36, will miss the rest of the preseason, with Glenn hopeful he will be ready for Week 1 against the Steelers on Sept. 7.
With Taylor out, Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook will continue to see time behind starter Justin Fields.
Neither Martinez, 25, nor Cook, 23, have played a snap in an NFL regular season game.
When healthy, Taylor gives the Jets a steady presence at backup quarterback.
Taylor has appeared in 94 career games and has thrown for 12,254 yards and 64 touchdowns.
He appeared in two games last season in mop-up duty behind Aaron Rodgers.
Fields dealt with a toe injury earlier in camp, but led the Jets to a touchdown on his lone drive in Saturday’s preseason-opening win against the Packers.
