Jets quarterback Justin Fields’ training camp practice was cut short today with an apparent lower leg injury.

Multiple reporters on the scene reported that Fields appeared to hurt his leg during team drills, limped to the sideline, and then got checked out by the team’s medical personnel.

After a short time being checked on the sideline, Fields got into the front seat of a cart and was taken back inside.

Somebody stepped on his toe?

Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Fields suffered a right toe injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the initial diagnosis is a dislocated toe and that tests showed Fields did not suffer a fracture.

Glenn said that he did not know which toe Fields injured when his foot was stepped on during practice and Rapoport reports that it is not the big toe.

Fields is still being evaluated and there’s no word on whether he’ll miss any time, but the initial updates have likely soothed some of the bad feelings that Jets fans had when they first heard that Fields went down.

I think Fields has top 5 potential.  Both Glenn and Engstrand came from Detroit... they both know Fields extremely well and when out and gave him a solid deal.  I think they believe that they know how to maximize his potential.  If they're right, he's a great QB to have.  If they're wrong, I won't care too much because he'll definitely be the 2nd QB I take anyway.

Jets fans are cursed.

As a Jets fan, I did not want him. 

Hear me out... Although they signed him to a 2 year deal, my fear was a Daniel Jones type situation where Fields does just enough to trick the Jets into believing they don't need to address the QB position for the future. This team, largely as currently constructed, won 7 games with Zach Wilson and some other scrubs just 2 years ago. Better (and more stable) coaching, plus Fields ability with his legs and I could easily see him hero balling the Jets to 9-10 wins. That would be great for fans, especially if they ended their playoff drought, but it's also a situation where Woody might get enamored and even if his overall numbers are not great and he still doesn't pass the eye test as a franchise QB, the Jets might buy in.

BUT, I was starting to come around to it. Do I really think they can fix his accuracy issues? Maybe not but lets see. This is the route they went. I know he has talent, a big arm, mobility, etc. Can they turn him into a poor mans Lamar Jackson? (for the record I think Lamar is a tremendous athlete who is highly overrated as a QB) 

and he was definitely on my radar for FF since there are a ton of stable QB's you can pair him with

If they fix him as a passer, he won't be a poor man's Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson will be a poor man's Justin Fields.  Coming out of college, Jackson was a very bad passer, Fields was very good.  Both needed coaching help.  Jackson got it... Fields never did.

I do agree with you on Jackson, which is why I said what I did, in that Fields could be better.

Great ADP, J Warren runs with first team during practice ahead of rookie K Johnson.  

Ive been drafting Warren a lot very late in 12-14 team mocks.  Fantastic ADP, but with this news, that’s going to change.

Insider Info:

I am currently at Jets open training camp and Fields is on the field, jogging and throwing passes and taking some reps

Doesn’t sound good for Richardson owners.  Dimes is going to win that job easily.

Quote

Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney injured a shoulder during Thursday’s practice, and the team announced Friday night that he will miss a few weeks.

Mooney was hurt in the first training camp practice when he dove for a deep pass from Michael Penix during team work. Mooney walked off with a trainer and did not return.

He presumably underwent an MRI on his shoulder.

is that what the early cam reports are saying?   I have not yet started paying attention.  I've been in work hell so paying less attention than usual
