Justin Fields participates in 7-on-7 drills at Jets practice, 2 days after dislocating toe
Fields threw passes during quarterback positional drills and then again in a session with wide receivers, including tossing a perfectly placed deep ball to Tyler Johnson for a big gain that drew cheers from the fans in the stands.
Fields didn't participate in team drills and will continue to be evaluated on a daily basis. The Jets have their first off day from practice Sunday.
'I thought he did a good job in 7-on-7s,' coach Aaron Glenn said. 'And the thing is, he has a ways to go until we get him out there and we're going to make sure we keep the process going, keep the protocol going to make sure he's ready.'
Fields sent 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 that it could be an even more significant injury.
Fields watched practice Friday from the sideline while wearing his helmet but had progressed enough Saturday to take part in some of the practice.
Glenn didn't think Fields, expected to be the starter in his first season with the Jets, would fall behind because of the injury.
'He's going to be just fine,' the coach said. 'He missed one day. He's been in meetings, so he's going to be just fine.'
Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor continues to lead the offense during team drills while Fields is sidelined.

Report Thauvin close to 6m transfer for RC Lens from Udinese
According to Footmercato, Udinese are in advanced negotiations to sell Florian Thauvin to RC Lens for €6m, with the player already agreeing personal terms. The 32-year-old only recently signed a new contract with the Friulani that runs to June 2026, putting pen to paper in late June 2025, just days before the previous deal was due to expire. Nonetheless, his future at the Bluenergy Stadium is far from secure, with reports in France that he has given the all-clear to join RC Lens. Thauvin seeking return to Ligue 1 UDINE, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 02: Florian Thauvin of Udinese reacts during the Serie A TIM match between Udinese Calcio and Frosinone Calcio at Udinese Arena on September 02, 2023 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) It is believed that Lens convinced Thauvin with a long-term project, proposing a three-year contract in France. The Frenchman has had an odd career path, playing for Bastia, Lille, Olympique Marseille, Newcastle United and Mexican club Tigres. He made a surprise return to Europe for Udinese as a free agent in January 2023 and made a strong impression, scoring 15 goals and providing 10 assists in 73 competitive games. Last season was particularly prolific, finding the net eight times with three assists in 25 Serie A appearances. It would be a blow for Udinese, who already sold striker Lorenzo Lucca to Napoli.

Bernardeschi avoids serious injury, still out for 3 weeks
Bologna will be without new signing Federico Bernardeschi for at least three weeks after a knee injury, but fears of ligament damage were fortunately unfounded. The former Toronto FC wide forward made the move to the Stadio Dall'Ara as a free agent this summer and was hoping to reboot his career after his time in Major League Soccer. There was an immediate setback, as after converting a penalty in the friendly match against Vis Pesaro, he limped off with a knee injury. Bernardeschi knee injury not too serious Federico Bernardeschi playing for Bologna ( Reports immediately suggested they feared it could be serious with ligament damage and possibly the requirement for surgery. However, today it was confirmed Bernardeschi had only suffered a sprain to the right knee. It still means he will be out of action for circa three weeks, but he can at least hope to be back in action for the Serie A season opener against Roma. A more likely scenario is to get him ready for the Week 2 fixture against Como.
