Overview

• Fields was listed as a full participant in non-contact, position-specific drills Thursday, a late-stage step in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
• Head coach Aaron Glenn reaffirmed the depth chart by saying, “If he’s cleared, he’s the starter,” for the prime-time game in Miami.
• Practice participation does not equal game clearance, as Fields still needs club medical approval followed by independent neurological sign-off.
• ESPN reporting indicates the recovery has not been straightforward, leaving open the possibility he could miss a second straight game.
• If Fields is unavailable, veteran Tyrod Taylor would start after a Week 3 outing with 197 yards, two touchdowns and a pick-6 in a 29-27 loss that dropped the Jets to 0-3.
