Quarterback Justin Fields of the New York Jets returned to the practice field on Saturday morning following an injury scare that had fans worried.
Fields, participating in his first Jets training camp, suffered a dislocated toe on his right foot early during Wednesday’s practice. He had to be carted off the field, sparking concern on social media that the Jets’ season was in jeopardy.

Fortunately, the Jets were relieved to see Fields back at practice on Saturday morning.
“Just trying to ease him in,” head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters after the session. “I thought he did a good job in the 7-on-7. The thing is, he has a ways to go until we get him out there. We’re gonna make sure we keep the process going.”
Fields participated in 7-on-7 drills, threw passes during quarterback positional drills, and worked with the receivers. However, he did not take part in team drills.

Glenn had mentioned a day earlier that the social media frenzy was unnecessary, as many feared that Fields could miss significant playing time like his predecessor, Aaron Rodgers, did in his first season with the Jets.
“The huge storm that was created really made no sense,” Glenn said. “And I think that’s a lesson for all of us of, guys, let’s just wait until we get the diagnosis. And I will not BS you, all right? I will tell you exactly what it is and we’ll move on. So that shouldn’t happen again.”

Fields signed a two-year, $40 million deal in March after playing in Pittsburgh. Glenn stated on Friday that he did not expect the injury to derail Fields’ season.
