Jets' Justin Fields Injury Less Severe Than Feared

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields suffered a right toe injury during Thursday's training camp when his foot was stepped on during a drill, prompting immediate concern as he was carted off the field. Head coach Aaron Glenn later confirmed the injury was not as severe as initially feared, though the timetable for Fields' return remains uncertain. Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract this offseason to be the Jets' starting quarterback, was able to walk into the facility under his own power after being carted back, offering some optimism. Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor took over first-team reps in Fields' absence and is expected to lead if Fields misses time. The situation draws parallels to past Jets quarterback injuries, but with several months before the season starts, the team remains hopeful for Fields' recovery. Further medical evaluation will clarify Fields' status in the coming days.
