I'm trying to assume anything yet. He went to the locker room as a passenger in the cart rather than laying on the back. Maybe that's a good sign?
Justin Fields was able to walk into the Jets facility on his own strength after being carted off. #Jets — Al Iannazzone (@Al_Iannazzone) July 24, 2025
I dont think they'd let him try to walk if they knew it was a torn achilles, right? trainers can tell pretty quickly by squeezing the calf. idk just tryin to stay upbeat, hopefully its just a sprained ankle or something. We will see what Glenn says after practice
You may not be wrong about Tyrod^. Question is can he stay healthy So it's a toe injury... https://x.com/ZackBlatt/status/1948389393611329842?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Looks like a toe injury which means it either lingers or it’s broken and he’s out until probably week two. Not ideal when you are a below average quarterback trying to learn a new system with a new team and new receivers. There probably isn’t much of a drop off from fields to Tyrod if at all… The big problem is that the offense is clearly centered around a quarterback who could run for 700 yards and eight touchdowns. You are either starting from scratch with Tyrod or trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
It really is impressive how cursed this franchise is. So, in other words, "play like a Jet". In all seriousness, hope it's not serious and he's able to play. Glad we have Tyrod as a backup, but given his injury history as well, hoping the new GM is already looking around to identify another QB to bring in, if needed, that would at least be able to give us some semblance of hope that there could be some competitive and meaningful football played after Halloween.
Tyrod is a running QB that's 35 years old with a history of injuries. I don't have him in the same realm as Fields when it comes to running. But you're right, my calendar is all sorts of fucked, he won't be out 8 weeks. https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1948396446127951999 Dislocated toe, not the big toe. Obviously good news but you hope it's not a lingering issue considering he's only serviceable because of what he does with his legs.
Talk about an awful lot of massive overreaction at the first sign of injury without hardly knowing any of the facts. The ghost of past Jets curses.
