"Update: After medical evaluation, QB Justin Fields sustained a dislocated toe in his right foot and will be day-to-day. Fields avoided serious injury and significant missed time," the team announced. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo shared Fields is expected to be ready for Week 1.
Justin Fields took part in quarterback and 7-on-7 drills at Jets training camp Saturday, two days after suffering a dislocated toe.
Connor Hughes of SNY explained that it's unclear what exactly caused Fields' injury, as the Jets first team returned to the field for just one play before he went down. He reportedly "stood up, sat down, then stood up before he limped off the field [very] gingerly."
Fields exited Thursday’s practice in the front seat of a cart after a teammate stepped on his right foot and was later diagnosed with a dislocated toe in his right foot.
If this injury to Fields is as bad as it seems right now, the Jets are in serious trouble for 2025. Tyrod Taylor is likely to win the backup quarterback spot in camp, but he’s not the kind of quarterback that can lead a team to the playoffs over an entire season. An already weak position group would have lost its only real potential strength.
Justin Fields appears to have sidestepped the Curse of The Jets Quarterback even if he couldn’t get out of the way of a teammate stepping on his foot.
