Patriots-Jets Inactives: J.J. Taylor poised to make season debut

Share

The New England Patriots will look a little different at running back Sunday in their Week 2 game against the rival New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.ย 

Second-year running back J.J. Taylor is active and expected to make his 2021 season debut after being inactive for the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is inactive after losing a fumble in the first quarter against the Dolphins last week. Perhaps this is Patriots head coach Bill Belichick teaching the University of Oklahoma product a lesson about the importance of ball security.

There aren't any other surprise inactives for the Patriots. Starting right tackle Trent Brown (calf) and veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy (throat) already had been ruled out.
