FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields returned to team drills Monday, four days after dislocating a toe on his right foot.
Fields participated in seven-on-seven drills at training camp Saturday as the team eased him back into practice. Coach Aaron Glenn had said Fields had “a ways to go” before fully returning. But after a day off Sunday, Fields ran the offense during 11-on-11 drills — on the first day this summer the Jets wore pads.
“He was limited, but he was limited the way that we want him to be limited,” Glenn said after practice. “He made some good throws out there. And again, when Justin gets on the field, I mean, we’re going to let him be who he is.”
Glenn wouldn’t specify what he meant when he said Fields was “limited” and was asked if perhaps the team doesn’t want him to run as much as he normally would.
“Just limit him the way we want him to be limited,” Glenn said. “I’ll just keep it at that.”
Fields sent Jets fans and social media into a frenzy Thursday when he dislocated a toe on his right foot early in practice. He was carted from the field to the facility, where he had multiple tests before the team announced the diagnosis — relieving fears it could be an even more significant injury.
After sitting out completely Friday, Fields threw passes in seven-on-seven drills Saturday and showed no signs of his injured foot ailing him. Byron Cowart batted down his first pass in team drills Monday at the line of scrimmage, but Fields had an otherwise solid practice session.
“There are some things that he did today that I was very pleased with,” Glenn said. “But there’s also some things he’s got to get better at too. He knows that.”
