Justin Fields was a participant in 11-on-11 drills Monday for the first time since dislocating a toe on his right foot last week, but not a full participant.
In exactly what way the quarterback was limited, Jets coach Aaron Glenn declined to say.
“He was limited. But he was limited the way we wanted him to be limited,” Glenn said, refusing to get into further detail.
Most likely, that is a reference to play calling.
Fields did not run the ball at all and most of his throws were quick and easy, without much movement in and around the pocket.
Presumably, that was a way of mitigating the risk of aggravating the injury.
Fields had one pass batted down by Byron Cowart, but was otherwise perfect in team drills.
“He made some good throws out there,” Glenn said. “When Justin gets on the field, we’re gonna let him be who he is. There are some things he did today we were very pleased with, but there’s also some things he’s gotta get better at, too. He sees that. So yeah, he was out there with us. Every day, I look forward to him just getting better.”

There is no quarterback battle with the Jets, and the organization’s hopes of fielding a competitive team this season are very much invested in Fields — who was benched by the Steelers last season after only six starts — after signing him to a two-year, $40 million deal during the offseason.
“He’s willing to learn day in and day out,” receiver Tyler Johnson said of Fields. “Young guy and he has his best foot forward, day in and day out. You can just see it, the way he approaches practice, meetings. Very excited to see and be a part of what he’s doing this year, too.”

The 40-year-old Folk was the Jets kicker for seven seasons between 2010-16 and played for the Titans last season, hitting 21-of-22 field goals and all 25 of the extra points he attempted.
Caden Davis and Harrison Mevis are the two kickers signed to the training camp roster.
Offensive lineman Gus Hartwig went down with an apparent knee injury late in practice. Glenn said he was being evaluated.
