First-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he gets ” a lump in my throat” anytime a player goes down due to injury. He was nervous for Justin Fields on Thursday and did not want to speculate on what he thought happened. By noon on Thursday, Glenn and the rest of the Jets’ organization were able to take a sigh of relief. Sources reported that Justin Fields avoided missing significant time and is considered “day-to-day.”
Just one day after dislocating his toe, Justin Fields was back on the practice field for New York. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network will work with the team in some way on Friday. Whether that be individual drills or working on the side. Regardless, the Jets are relieved to know Fields will not miss significant time due to injury.

Last season, Justin Fields started the first six games of the season for Pittsburgh. He went 4-2 but was eventually replaced by veteran QB Russell Wilson. Fields left the Steelers this offseason and signed a two-year, $40 million deal with New York. Over four seasons, Fields has played in 50 games and has 44 starts.
The backup for Fields in 2025 is journeyman Tyrod Taylor. He was with New York in 2024 and was the backup to Aaron Rodgers. When Justin Fields left practice on Thursday, Taylor replaced him in team drills. Additionally, the Jets have Andrien Martinez and rookie Brady Cook at QB in 2025. New York anticipates Fields will start all 17 games barring an unforeseen injury.
