Brady Cook getting another chance to start in Jets’ season finale

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that undrafted rookie free agent quarterback Brady Cook will continue to start Sunday when the team plays at Buffalo.

Glenn reiterated that Cook, who’s thrown seven interceptions and only one touchdown in his three-plus games, “give us the best chance to win’’ despite the fact that veteran Tyrod Taylor is healthy and back with the team after missing some time for personal reasons.

Asked if he’s seen enough of Cook to believe he’d be a reliable backup in 2026, Glenn was noncommittal.

 “I would like to look at that at the end of the season,’’ he said. “He still has another game left, so we’ll see what happens with this game and see how he operates.’’

 Cook on Wednesday said he’s “grateful’’ for the chance to start again.

“We’re going to Buffalo and I look forward to putting a good product out on the field and balling out with these guys one last game this year,’’ he said. “I’ve learned a lot from a quarterback perspective, from a leader perspective being on this team and starting games for the first time and I’ve learned that it is still football. 

“It’s the game that we’ve played our entire life. It’s a kids’ game, it’s a complicated one, it’s imperfect, but it’s the game we love and you still have to have fun doing it, and that’s kind of the message this week is let’s go have fun.

“Let’s go have fun playing football and let’s execute, and let’s go see what we can do this last game.’’

Among the large group of players who didn’t practice Wednesday was RB Breece Hall, who rushed for 107 yards last week and eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career.

Hall had his knee banged in last week’s game, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see him sit on now that he’s reached that important milestone.

“It’s his knee,’’ Glenn said. “He just banged it. We’ll know throughout this week if he’ll be able to play.’’

The other players who didn’t practice included TE Mason Taylor, OL Xavier Newman, RB Isaiah Davis (concussion), CB Qwan’tez Stiggers, DE Micheal Clemons, and G Joe Tippmann. 

“We’ll see how the week goes and see how they operate,’’ Glenn said. 

Glenn was asked if, at 3-13 and the team being blown out on a regular basis, he’s concerned about his job security and what his “mindset’’ is entering this season finale.

 “How do I beat the Bills,’’ Glenn said tersely. “That’s what I’m thinking about. That’s it.’’
