The New York Jets are still searching for their first win of the season, but the quarterback picture finally has some clarity. After weeks of uncertainty, the team revealed a critical update that could shift the momentum heading into Week 4. With the Monday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins just around the corner, all eyes were on Aaron Glenn’s podium on Thursday—and the head coach had some exciting news that Jets fans have been eagerly anticipating.

Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Justin Fields will return to practice, though he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. “Justin Fields will be practicing but still going through the protocol. We have to make sure it’s clear,” Glenn told reporters. Fields suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Bills after a hard hit from Joey Bosa slammed his head into the turf. He left the game with just 27 passing yards but added 49 yards on the ground before exiting. The setback forced him to miss last week’s heartbreaking 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

The Jets are desperate for consistency at quarterback. Fields showed flashes in Week 1 against Pittsburgh, throwing for 218 yards and a score while adding two rushing touchdowns. That dual-threat ability is exactly what Glenn’s offense needs to stabilize an early-season slide.

Despite the ongoing protocol, Glenn made it clear: if Fields is cleared by doctors, he will start against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old quarterback’s ability to return to practice is a major step forward. His dual-threat presence is central to New York’s offense, and the Jets badly need stability at quarterback after falling to 0-3.

In his absence, veteran Tyrod Taylor filled in admirably. He threw for 197 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against Tampa Bay, nearly leading the Jets to a comeback win. 

The timing could not be more crucial. Miami, also 0-3, is desperate for its own breakthrough. Monday night’s prime-time clash at Hard Rock Stadium is shaping up to be a must-win for both sides.

Jets’ Aaron Glenn goes viral after sideline dance amid Buccaneers loss

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn didn’t expect his sideline celebration to steal headlines. But after his strut went viral, paired with Earth, Wind & Fire mashups, the rookie coach is embracing every second of it.

The moment came late in the Jets’ clash with the Buccaneers. Trailing most of the game, New York stunned Tampa by blocking a field goal and returning it for a touchdown. The play flipped the scoreboard, giving the Jets a brief 27-26 lead. Glenn sprinted down the sideline, arms to the sky, before breaking into a strut. Cameras caught it. Social media did the rest. Soon, edits of Glenn dancing to “September” and “Let’s Groove” were everywhere.

Glenn’s family showed him the clips. His response? Classic. “I’m always going to be me,” he said. “These guys need someone who believes in them. If I didn’t do that, my wife and kids would’ve asked what’s wrong with me. I’ll never be fake.”

Some critics pointed out the loss that followed, as Baker Mayfield led the Bucs on a game-winning drive. But Glenn brushed it off. “Some people like it, some don’t. Doesn’t matter. I’m glad people saw my authentic self.”

For Glenn, the dance isn’t new. He’s been doing it since his playing days with the Jets in the 1990s. What’s new is the viral spotlight on a coach trying to change the culture of a winless team. The Jets are 0-3, but Glenn insists this isn’t the “same old Jets.” He’s injecting energy, showing passion, and demanding standards.

The wins haven’t come yet. But the fire and the dance moves are undeniable.
