It will be a new-look Jets after a big shakeup ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but head coach Aaron Glenn is sticking with Justin Fields as the starting quarterback for the Week 10 matchupagainst the Cleveland Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported early Sunday.

Glenn had played the decisions close to the vest, as he did leading up to New York's last game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which saw Fields get the nod after veteran Tyrod Taylor was ruled out due to injury.

Fields and the Jets went on to beat the Bengals, 39-38, to earn their first win of the year before the bye week. New York got the win with 23 points in the fourth quarter, overturning a 14-point deficit with under 11 minutes to play. In the game, Fields threw for 244 yards on 21-for-32 (x percentage, 7.6 yards per attempt) with one touchdown for a 99.0 passer rating and 64.4 QBR. He added 31 yards on 11 carries.

In a boost for Fields, the Jets are set to get wide receiver Garrett Wilson back in the lineup after a two-game absence due to a knee injury. He will slot in alongside the newly acquired WR duo of Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III to bolster a pass-attack that had struggled to start the year.
