The Jets worked out two veteran quarterbacks following the announcement of backup QB Tyrod Taylor undergoing minor knee surgery.

Tyrod Taylor’s absence has the Jets rummaging for a veteran quarterback. With just Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook — neither of whom has taken an NFL regular-season snap — available behind Justin Fields and two games to play in the next eight days, the Jets had C.J. Beathard and Nathan Peterman in for tryouts Thursday.

With Tyrod Taylor out for the rest of the preseason, the Jets worked out a pair of memorable backup quarterbacks.
