It was a tough outing for Justin Fields and the New York Jets against the Buffalo Bills in a 30-10 loss, and Fields didn't even finish the game.
After a tough tackle, which saw his head hit the ground after a throwaway, Fields was taken out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion and didn't return.
Post-game, attention quickly turned to whether Fields would be available to play in Week 3, given that he entered concussion protocols this week.
So, could we see Fields? Possibly, if he meets Aaron Glenn's deadline.
"It's hard for me as a coach, when we get to Friday and you haven't had any reps," Glenn said. "That's just something I believe in. Again, I don't want to put anything on that as far as where we are at with him until we get to that point."

Fields given until Friday to prove fitness
So, Fields will have a few days to rest up to see if he can be well enough to hit the practice field in the hopes of playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
We know how seriously the NFL takes concussions and hits to the head, so we would think that the Jets might play the cautious game with No. 7 and let him sit out the Week 3 clash in the hopes he'll be fine to go for Week 4.
But Friday looms as the deadline, at least, for Glenn to determine who his starter will be, and we get the feeling it might not be Fields.
