"We're playing," Glenn said on Thursday. "We're playing."

Fields is active on the Jets roster and has not been dealing with any injury at training camp. He is likely to start against the Packers as well, but might be on limited reps since New York will want him firing on all cylinders when the regular season begins.

Last week, Fields said he wanted to get some game time during the preseason.

"I think we need to at least see the field each and every game," Fields said. "I think that will be good for our team. It will be good for Tanner with the in-game stuff. It will be good for me and the guys on offense. I know some guys, they sit out the whole preseason, but I don't think that's the case for us. Just because of the new team, new offense and stuff like that."

Glenn will also get an opportunity to fine-tune his team's offense before the regular season.
