Justin Fields Advances to 7-on-7 Drills Under Jets’ Measured Return Protocol

Carted off training camp two days ago, he returned to limited 7-on-7 drills without a limp under a strict day-to-day medical protocol.

Overview

  • Fields threw passes during Saturday’s 7-on-7 sessions, displaying no visible limp after dislocating a lesser toe July 24.
  • The quarterback remains under daily evaluation as the Jets medical staff and coaching team follow a cautious, collaborative return plan.
  • Veteran Tyrod Taylor continued to lead the first-team offense in full team drills while Fields works back into the lineup.
  • Coach Aaron Glenn emphasized transparent communication and a step-by-step practice progression to manage fan concerns and ensure health.
  • Orthopaedic specialist Elise C. Bixby noted that injuries to smaller toes often heal faster and indicated Fields is on track for the Sept. 7 season opener.
