Fields took an MRI and an X-ray, which revealed a toe dislocation on his right foot, per the Jets.
The Jets ruled the 26-year-old day-to-day as his injury was relatively minor compared to what was thought to be a serious leg issue at first.
Fields missed just one practice and was limited in another before returning to Monday’s team drills.
On Tuesday, Fields took part in practice and later appeared on Up & Adams, reassuring fans that he’s okay.
“The toe is good. The toe is ready to go,” Fields told host Kay Adams.
Fields will practice for several weeks “with a plastic shield on the outside of his cleats to protect his injured toe,” per ESPN.
“God was looking out that day,” Fields told reporters Tuesday in speaking about the injury for the first time.
He continued, “We get our feet stepped on all the time at practice, so it just felt normal at first when I got stepped on.
“But I tried walking off, and it just felt weird, like something was stuck in my toe.
“I didn’t know what to think. I just knew something was wrong.
“… Luckily, they said it was just dislocated.”
A toe injury can be worrisome for a mobile quarterback like Fields.
Fortunately, the injury appears mild and isn’t expected to hamper the former first-round pick for the upcoming season.
