Fields has a toe injury on "the right side of his foot," Glenn said
Glenn doesn't know the severity
Glenn believes the toe was injured when another player stepped on it
Glenn then spoke about backup Tyrod Taylor.
"We have an outstanding backup in Tyrod, who's been in this league for around 14 years, so the leadership that he brings, we're all good," Glenn said.

The Jets just brought Fields in this offseason to be their new starting quarterback.
They'll be hoping that everything is all OK and that it's just a late-July scare. But until more news comes out, there'll be an air of uncertainty hanging over the Jets' QB room.

WNBA players embrace continuously growing tunnel walk fashion
Shakira Austin didn't realize how important fashion would become when she entered the WNBA in 2022. Her introduction to game-day tunnel fashion began at the University of Mississippi in 2020. 'My school started doing their own tunnel fits," she said. "It was cute, but I definitely didn't know [the WNBA tunnel walk was] as popping and as big as it is now.' During the last few years, college and WNBA social media teams have photographed players walking into arenas and to their locker rooms on game day. Tunnel walk fashion now quickly spreads on social media on game days. What started as a social media trend that fans enjoyed has become a high-profile chance for WNBA players to show off their personal style and potentially land endorsement deals. A Vogue article published last season declared that "The WNBA Tunnel Is Officially a Fashion Destination." Austin has adapted to the spotlight and says she enjoys expressing herself through clothing. 'It gives a little bit of a model essence," Austin said. "You go through, you pick out your fit for the day, and all cameras are on you, so it's definitely a nice little highlight off the court before you start to lock in for the game.' Now in her fourth year with the Washington Mystics, Austin's sense of style is fully her own. Read more: Candace Parker: From top prospect to WNBA champion with three teams Without much styling advice from teammates as a rookie, she leaned on her passion for creativity and beauty to guide her looks. 'I've just always liked to express myself through beauty — from either masculine or feminine looks," she said. At 6 foot 5, Austin has had to work with limited clothing options. 'Being that I am a tall girl, it's kind of hard to find clothes, so repeating stuff is a big deal for me," she said. "Also, just making [the outfit] a different vibe each time.' Connecticut Sun center Olivia Nelson-Ododa didn't get comfortable until she partnered with stylist Kristine Anigwe, a former WNBA player and owner of KA Creative Consulting. 'Figuring out, 'OK, this is my style, this is what I actually like and enjoy wearing. How can I put it together in something that is comfortable and makes me feel confident?'' Nelson-Ododa said. She describes being a 'serial pieces repeater,' choosing to mix and match rather than follow trends. 'Honestly, it's fashion, there's like no rules to it.' Off the court, fashion is now a way for her to show different sides of herself beyond her basketball identity. 'We already have an amazing job like this, and being able to add on by showing ourselves in a different light is super fun,' she said. Although she doesn't have the biggest interest in fashion, Sparks center Azura Stevens has seen tunnel fashion evolve into something much bigger. 'It's cool to put together different fits, kind of show your personality through style," she said. "I am kind of used to it now — it's just a part of the game-day routine.' During her time in the league, fashion has become a natural part of the culture. 'It has become a really big thing for it to be like runways almost before the game. It's a part of the culture now of the [league],' she said. Stevens' teammate, veteran forward Dearica Hamby, has had a career full of fashion transitions since she entered the league in 2015 when fashion wasn't a major part of the WNBA culture. 'Mine has changed over the course of the years," she said. "For me, I'm sometimes business-like, but overall just really well put together.' Read more: WNBA motherhood: The balancing act between career and kids Hamby credits her time with the Las Vegas Aces as the moment she saw the shift. 'I kind of feel like my time in Vegas is when it really took off. We had a really talented photographer who was able to capture our fits,' she said. Hamby is still learning what works best for her style. One thing she's noticed: how an outfit looks in a photo matters. 'Sometimes things don't photograph well, and that's what I am starting to learn," she said. "It could look good in person, but it doesn't necessarily photograph well, so you wanna wear things that are cut and crisp.' As tunnel walk content grows on social media, so can critiques of players and their outfit choices. 'I've definitely gotten flamed before for certain outfits," Nelson-Ododa said. "Some people are not fans and some people are fans. I really don't care, as long as it feels good on me, I'm fine." 'You definitely know that eyes are going to see, and you're going to be talked about — whether it's a positive view or negative view,' Hamby said. What matters most to Hamby is the feeling behind the fit: 'Just remind yourself that if you feel good and you feel like you look good in it, that's all that matters."

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: 8 players to target if you need to make a splash
After the flurry of trades this week, most fantasy managers are focused on adding players who received a bump in value via a real-life trade. But there are still plenty of players who are worth consideration for other reasons, such as their recent performance or a return from injury. Those players are covered below, but I also wrote a full recap of the fantasy impact of the trade deadline. Cade Smith, RP, Cleveland Guardians, 46% The league's decision to place Emmanuel Clase on paid leave until at least August 31 makes Smith an exciting saves source. The right-hander has been one of baseball's best relievers since debuting last year, posting a 2.37 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP and a 24.2% K-BB ratio. Smith also excels at keeping the ball in the yard, having allowed just three homers in 121.1 career innings. He's a top-15 reliever for the month of August and possibly for the remainder of the season. Slade Cecconi, SP, Cleveland Guardians, 30% I mentioned Cecconi in this space last week, as he was expected to be a two-start pitcher during this 7-day stretch. Unfortunately, a rainout pushed him back a day, and he will now enjoy a two-start week starting next Monday. Cecconi has become a reliable starter, posting a 3.39 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP in his past 10 starts. And his two road starts next week against the Mets and White Sox are reasonable matchups. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Nestor Cortes, SP, San Diego Padres, 15% Cortes was slated to appear in this article before he was traded yesterday and nothing has changed now that he is a member of the Padres. The left-hander has been a useful fantasy asset throughout his career, producing a 3.88 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP and a 9.1 K/9 rate. The start of his season was wiped out by a shoulder injury, but he should return any day and will enjoy being part of one of baseball's best teams during the stretch run. Andrew Vaughn, 1B, Milwaukee Brewers, 25% Vaughn has caught fire as a member of the Brewers, which convinced management that they did not need to address the first base position at the trade deadline. The former elite prospect could never put things together with the White Sox, but his 1.157 OPS with Milwaukee is enough of a reason to give Vaughn a chance in standard leagues. It's also worth noting that after having mediocre plate discipline throughout his career, Vaughn has logged a 7:8 BB:K ratio with the Brewers. Josh Jung, 3B, Texas Rangers, 32% Since being recalled on July 21, Jung has hit .367 with two homers and a .991 OPS. The third baseman was having a dismal season when optioned on July 2, and last year he dealt with injuries that limited him to just 46 games. But in 2023, Jung hit .266 with 23 homers, and he is still just 27 years old. It helps that the slugger is part of a Rangers offense that has recently gotten hot after a slow start to the season. Jung is day-to-day right now with calf soreness but should return by the end of the weekend. [Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all] Colton Montgomery, 3B/SS, Chicago White Sox, 22% Chicago's first-round pick in the 2021 MLB draft, Montgomery debuted on July 4 and has started to heat up in recent games. The youngster has gone deep five times in his past eight contests, which is not surprising when noticing that he hit 11 homers and 55 Triple-A games this season. Mickey Moniak, OF, Colorado Rockies, 24% Starting today, the Rockies will play 14 of their next 20 games at their hitter-friendly home park. And of the six road contests, three will be played against an Arizona team that unloaded some of their pitchers at the trade deadline. Moniak has logged a 1.013 OPS at home this season and an .848 mark overall, making him an excellent addition in shallow leagues for the next three weeks. Tyler O'Neill, OF, Baltimore Orioles, 50% O'Neill is one of the most injury prone and streakiest players in baseball. We have already endured a long-term absence and a cold streak. Lately, we have seen O'Neill heat up at the dish, as he has logged a 1.548 OPS since July 24. Managers in five-outfielder leagues can enjoy the power surge while it lasts.
