AFC Notes: Aaron Glenn, Sean McDermott, Woody Johnson, Bills, Jets

Bills

  • Bills HC Sean McDermott said DT DaQuan Jones (calf), WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) and S Taylor Rapp (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, via Joe Buscaglia. 
  • McDermott added that Jones and Palmer are considered “week-to-week,” while the severity of Rapp’s is still being determined. 
  • McDermott said CB Dorian Strong is seeking a second opinion on his neck injury, and they are still “combing through” information on its severity, via Katherine Fitzgerald.

Jets

Jets HC Aaron Glenn said that he hasn’t named a starting quarterback for this weekend’s game and reiterated that owner Woody Johnson has left that decision fully in his hands.

โ€œWoody puts that in my hand as far as who plays,โ€ Glenn said, via PFT. โ€œI donโ€™t see that changing. He trusts me to make that decision. He made a comment and he has every right to that comment. That comment was actually said by a number of guys, including our quarterback, as far as the efficiency of how we play. Weโ€™re not gonna fight that, we understand that. We have to get better, we do. I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s anywhere in that comment where he said he doesnโ€™t like Justin.โ€

Jets

  • The New York Jets officially designated LB Quincy Williams to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. 
  • This opens Williams’ 21-day window to practice before being activated. 
  • Jets HC Aaron Glenn said they have not named their Week 8 starter between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, while Taylor is considered “day-to-day” with a knee injury, via Connor Hughes.
  • Glenn mentioned they have a “competitive advantage” in not immediately naming their starting quarterback, via Brian Costello. 
  • Glenn added that WR Garrett Wilson (knee) and RB Breece Hall (ankle) are also considered day-to-day, per Costello. 
  • Jets owner Woody Johnson recently stated that their poor quarterback play is hindering their offense. When asked about Johnson’s comments, Glenn responded: “He’s an owner, he has a right to his opinion…it’s really something that has been said across the board – we have to improve. We’re all on the same page.” (SNY Jets)
  • Fields said he was unaware of Johnsonโ€™s comments but feels their owner is “entitled to his opinion,” via Costello
  • Fields confirmed that he hasnโ€™t been informed of his role in Week 8, and he is โ€œsplittingโ€ first-team reps with Taylor, via Rich Cimini.
