Rodgers’ stint in New York was short-lived due to an Achilles injury and a poor performance during the 2024 campaign, which led to concerns when Fields went down in practice recently. However, he suffered a dislocated toe and avoided a severe injury, resulting in the quarterback being relieved via Rich Cimini of ESPN.
“We get our feet stepped on all the time at practice, so it just felt normal at first when I got stepped on. But I tried walking off and it just felt weird, like something was stuck in my toe,” Fields said. “I didn’t know what to think. I just knew something was wrong. … Luckily, they said it was just dislocated.”
Jets teammate Garrett Wilson recently talked about the toughness he’s seen from his new teammate in New York.
“After knowing him for the past decade, damn near now, it’s always like, ‘When’s he going to be back out there?’ He’s just a tough cat. He’s never out too long,” Wilson said. “He broke his ribs against Clemson in college and I don’t know if he missed a play. So he’s that type of guy.”
Fields will have his work cut out for him during his first season with the Jets. New York will try to bounce back from a disappointing five-win season and try to be a force to be reckoned with in the AFC East division.
