Jets' Aaron Glenn provides uncertain first injury update on Justin Fields image

Justin Fields is hurt.

The New York Jets aren't quite sure how bad it is yet.

Head coach Aaron Glenn spoke with reporters not long after Fields was carted away from Jets practice on Thursday.

The key points:

  • 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.
