During Thursday’s training camp practice on July 24, 2025, quarterback Justin Fields of the New York Jets had to be carted off the field for additional assessment after suffering a dislocated toe on his right foot.
- Shortly after Fields threw an incomplete pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert during team drills, the injury occurred.
- Fields was seen limping to the sideline with assistance from a trainer after sitting on the grass in obvious discomfort. After examining his right foot for about ten minutes and taking off his shoe, medical personnel pulled out a cart and carried him to the locker room.
- According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the injury is a dislocated non-big toe, and preliminary examinations revealed no fracture. The full extent and recovery time are still unknown as Fields is undergoing more testing, even though this may not be as bad as a fracture or involvement of the big toe.
Fields’ foot may have been stepped on during the play, according to Coach Aaron Glenn, but the team will need to watch practice footage to confirm the cause and wait for additional medical testing to determine the severity.
- Fields was replaced by seasoned backup Tyrod Taylor after he failed to complete practice.
- Fields was able to enter the Jets facility on his own after being wheeled in the cart.
The Jets are especially worried about this injury because Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract, is in his first season with the team and was selected as the undisputed starter. Fans and team officials are waiting for word on whether Fields will be sidelined for an extended period of time.
- Injury: Right foot dislocation, non-big toe, no fracture.
- Status: Additional testing is ongoing; severity and return schedule are unknown.
- Backup: Following Fields’ injury, Tyrod Taylor took over.
- Context: Fields’ first season with the Jets following stints with the Steelers and Bears.
To find out how long, if at all, he will be out, the Jets and Fields are currently awaiting the results of more tests.
