Justin Fields shocked the New York Jets significantly on Thursday, July 24, 2025. A trolley carried the 25-year-old quarterback off the field during practice; he was later carried off. His right leg had been damaged. Fields had just run one play during 11-on-11 team drills when something seemed wrong. After that, he was helped to the sideline. Trainers removed his right shoe and looked at his leg for about 10 minutes. Then, a cart was brought in, and Fields was taken into the locker room. Jets general manager Darren Mougey and a team doctor walked alongside him.

Justin Fields goes down during Thursday’s training camp at Jets facility
The injury happened during the Jets’ summer training camp at their team facility in Florham Park, New Jersey. It was late in the morning on Thursday when Fields stopped playing after one snap. Having rested for a time, he was spotted carefully strolling assisted by trainers. His face exhibited indications of pain, and he kept his weight off the right leg.

 

In March 2025, on a two-year, $40 million deal, Justin Fields signed with the New York Jets. He had one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers before that. He had over 65% of his passes and played in 10 games there. With only one interception, he passed for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns.
Justin Fields also cut down his turnovers greatly. In Pittsburgh, he had a turnover on just 0.8% of his plays, which was a big improvement from his earlier years with the Chicago Bears, where he led the league in turnovers.
