New York Jets fans received some unfortunate news on Thursday.

The team's new starting quarterback, Justin Fields, was carted off the practice field from an apparent injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Coach Aaron Glenn shared later that Fields suffered a right toe injury and that he's still being examined, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

A trainer ran onto the field to check out Fields's leg before they carted him to the locker room, SNYtv's Connor Hughes reported. The Jets then paused that part of practice to focus on special teams instead. Glenn said he assumes the injury occurred by another player stepping on Fields's toe.

It was later revealed that Fields dislocated a toe on his right foot and didn't fracture it, which would've been more severe. He will undergo an MRI and further testing to learn the severity of the injury, but this is better news than the Jets originally expected.
