Due to injuries, the New York Jets are reaching to the bottom of their quarterback depth chart, tapping rookie Brady Cook to start Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. It will be the first NFL start for Cook, a former practice-squad player who made his debut last week in a 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He replaced Tyrod Taylor, who lasted only two series because of a groin injury. Former starter Justin Fields also is injured (knee soreness), leaving the Jets no choice but to use Cook and Adrian Martinez as their two quarterbacks in Jacksonville.

Well, perhaps other than John Metchie, who comes in every day at 6 AM and catches 300 balls before practice just to warm up. There are a lot of people who don't see what he does behind closed doors, Glenn said on Monday. He's here every morning, 6 o'clock indoors, catching 300 balls. You put all that together, with a lot of other things that he does, he's going to be successful.

Nick and AG are part of this fraternity [of] being a Jet. They came here and they brought wins. They were great players here and Nick was with us today. We had a kick return and a punt return [for touchdowns]. Kind of crazy. That's nobody but God and the man himself, Nick himself.
