New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was carted off the practice field due to a lower leg injury. He injured himself after attempting to throw a pass and subsequently limped off with assistance. After a brief evaluation period in the injury tent, he was transported on a cart to the locker room but was able to walk into the team facility afterwards. Fields, who recently signed a substantial contract, is the team's starting quarterback, with Tyrod Taylor taking over in his absence during practice.
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was carted off the practice field Thursday morning with an apparent lower leg injury. Fields pulled up after rolling right and throwing an incomplete short pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert.
He spent a few minutes in the injury tent before a cart arrived on the scene. Fields was taken to the locker room, sitting in the passenger seat of the cart, before walking into the team facility.
Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract as a free agent, is the Jets' undisputed starter. Tyrod Taylor replaced him in team drills.
