Overview

• Justin Fields was diagnosed with a non-big-toe dislocation on his right foot and is officially day-to-day with no fracture confirmed.
• He returned to the Jets’ Florham Park facility under his own power but did not take part in team or individual drills on Friday.
• Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor has assumed first-team reps to uphold offensive continuity while Fields remains sidelined.
• Former NFL physician Dr David J. Chao projects a six-week recovery window that would align Fields’s return with the Sept. 7 opener against the Steelers.
• Some analysts see the downtime as a chance for Fields to refine his pocket-passing skills within the new Jets system.
