Two days after Justin Fields briefly provided a major worry<\/a>, he delivered only good news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fields participated in individual drills and 7-on-7s during Jets practice Saturday, a strong sign of progress after he suffered a dislocated toe Thursday. <\/p>\n

Fields was stepped on and had to be carted off the field during that Thursday practice, but moved well on the field Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Fields looked terrific in 7-on-7s. <\/p>\n

He went 6-for-6, including a well-placed touchdown pass to a streaking Tyler Johnson over the middle of the field. <\/p>\n

Along with Johnson, Fields completed passes to Garrett Wilson (twice), Xavier Gipson, Brandon Smith and Arian Smith.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He did not participate<\/a> in full 11-on-11s, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he did a good job in the 7-on-7,\u201d coach Aaron Glenn said. \u201cHe has a ways to go until we get him out there [fully]. We\u2019re gonna make sure we keep the protocol going to make sure he\u2019s ready.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Glenn thought Saturday\u2019s practice was particularly important \u2014 and provided a valuable test of his roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cVery, very critical day for us as a team,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cThe reason why I say that, usually when you go through three days, then really that fourth day is the day when you have the two-hour practice. That\u2019s when you start to stress the players mentally and physically.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of my favorite practices, it\u2019s always been one of my favorite practices because of that, just to see how the players respond. I talked to them about it, and they knew exactly how to operate, they knew exactly how to respond, and I thought the guys came out and had a very spirited practice. Very happy about that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will McDonald IV has looked terrific to start training camp and had another big day. His speed as an edge rusher is well documented and was his calling card coming into the league. <\/p>\n

New York Jets\u2019 Brandon Stephens (21) takes part in drills with teammates Jordan Clark (33), Will McDonald IV (9) and Quincy Williams (56) at the NFL football team\u2019s training camp Thursday, July 24, 2025, in Florham Park, N.J. AP<\/p>\n

But on Saturday, he utilized his power with a bull rush to steamroll past<\/a> Armand Membou for a would-be sack during 11-on-11s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a move McDonald did not showcase much through his first two years in the league. But Glenn believes he\u2019s always possessed it \u2014 it\u2019s just that his previous coaches haven\u2019t brought it out of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s coaching,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cBecause he can do it. You said he\u2019s never done it last year. Now you see him do it. It\u2019s just coaching, that\u2019s all it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two days after Justin Fields briefly provided a major worry, he delivered only good news.\u00a0 Fields participated in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":96446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[59921,12942,5287,1232,62,20026,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-96445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-aaron-glenn","9":"tag-justin-fields","10":"tag-new-york-jets","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-training-camp","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114924682685892520","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
