Jets quarterback Justin Fields is back. Kind of. Here's what's next
Justin Fields returned to practice drills on Saturday, just 48 hours after he limped off the field with a dislocated toe. Fields eased back in by joining 7-on-7 drills Saturday, but coach Aaron Glenn says he’ll take a cautious approach with the Jets’ starting quarterback when it comes participating in full 11-on-11 drills.
"Just trying to ease him in,“ Glenn said after practice. ”It’s going to be a collaborative process between him, , and myself to make sure that he’s ready, ready when he gets involved in team drills and things like that. “So, I thought he did a good job in the seven-on-seven, and the thing is he has a ways to go until we get him out there, and we’re going to make sure we keep the process going, the protocol going to make sure he’s ready.” Fields left Thursday’s practiec early after he was stepped on at the ened of a passing play early in practice. Fields limped off the field and was taken back to the locker room in the passenger seat of a. cart. That set off a couple hours of stress and uncertainty for Jets fans, who have had to endure a frustrating spat of early season quarterback injuries over the last decade. But it was soon revealed that Fields was expected to be OK. He was back on the practice field Friday, participating Iwarmups. And on Saqturday, he took the next step, rejoining 7-on-7 drills. Getting Fields back into team drills could be a little more complicated with the Jets set to practice in pads for the first time on Monday after Sunday’s off day. With two off days in a four day span it could be a perfect opportunity to let Fields rest and start anew on Thursday. Or the Jets could ease him back into team drills on Monday and Tuesday and let him rest on Wednesday. Either way, Glenn doesn’t see Fields’ missed practice reps as anything that will significantly impact his preparation for the season. “He’s missed one day,” Glenn said. “He’s going to be just fine. He missed one day, he’s been in meetings, so he’ll be just fine.” Actually, Fields had only five snaps of 11-on-11 team-drill reps in the last three practices to end the first week of camp , but with more than 40 days until the start of the regular season Glenn is right, it shouldn’t have a huge impact on his preparation for the season.
