FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields returned to team drills Monday, four days after dislocating a toe on his right foot.
Fields participated in 7-on-7 drills at training camp Saturday as the team eased him back into practice. Coach Aaron Glenn had said Fields had "a ways to go" before fully returning. But after a day off Sunday, Fields ran the offense during 11-on-11 drills -- and on the first day this summer the Jets wore pads.
"He was limited, but he was limited the way that we want him to be limited," Glenn said after practice. "He made some good throws out there. And again, when Justin gets on the field, I mean, we're going to let him be who he is."
Glenn wouldn't specify what he meant when he said Fields was "limited" and was asked if perhaps the team doesn't want him to run as much as he normally would.
"Just limit him the way we want him to be limited," Glenn said. "I'll just keep it at that."
Fields sent Jets fans and social media into a frenzy last 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.
After sitting out completely on Friday, Fields threw passes in 7-on-7 drills Saturday and showed no signs of his injured foot ailing him.
