New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is dealing with a toe injury that has left him “day-to-day” following an apparent mishap during training camp practice. According to head coach Aaron Glenn, Fields’ foot was dislocated, but he avoided what could have been a more serious injury and significant missed time. The team’s medical staff believes the cause of the injury might be attributed to someone stepping on his toe, although further review is needed to confirm.
Fields, who signed a two-year contract worth $40 million, had an impressive stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, going 4-2 in six starts and throwing for 1,106 yards with five touchdowns. He also showed promise in the run game, carrying the ball 62 times for 189 yards and five touchdowns.
If Fields were to miss significant time due to his injury, backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor is well-prepared to take over. With 14 seasons of experience under his belt, Taylor has started 58 games with a record of 28-28-1, demonstrating his ability to lead the team in the absence of their starting quarterback.
The Jets also have Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook on their roster, adding depth to their quarterback position as they navigate their preseason schedule.
