The Aaron Rodgers Error Is Over. But the Jets still can't get out of their own way.

Justin Fields swapped teams with Rodgers this offseason. And while Rodgers and the Steelers hope to regain their playoff glory, the Jets simply long for another .500 season.

The Jets could only watch on Thursday as Fields was carted off with a toe injury, mulitple reports said. A teammate supposedly stepped on Fields' toe during practice, reported Ian Rapoport. There was no fracture and it wasn't his big toe.

That could well leave the Week 1 Jets QB 1 starting slot in doubt.

All of this happened on just the third day of training camp for veterans.

Intially, Fields limped to the sidelines but eventually headed back to the lockerrom in a cart.

Only the Jets.

New head coach Aaron Glenn told the media of the incident after practice. He added the severity of the injury is still to be determined. Reports said the toe was dislocated.

Bookies.com oddsmaker Adam Thompson breaks down the NFL landscape and reveals his NFL futures odds for the Jets’ starting quarterback come Week 1 of the 2025 season.

The Jets begin their season at home against T.J. Watt, Rodgers and the Steelers on Sept. 7. That requires maximum mobility for any opppsing QB.

Best Options To Replace Justin Fields

Fields arrived in New York with the hope that he could carry some stability into the Jets offense. And serve as a weapon with his feet, as well as his arm.

His mobility could well become an issue if the toe injury is serious.

The favorite to take the first offensive snap for the Jets in 2025 is Tyrod Taylor. A season-veteran, Taylor once earned a Pro Bowl berth when playing with Buffalo. With Taylor, the Jets may slow down their planned high-speed attack and shift more to a ball-control mode. Taylor extends plays with his legs, avoids turnovers, and carries a veteran presence that should calm Gang Green in high-pressure situations, The Jets boast star power at running back with Breece Hall and big-strike potential with WR Garrett Wilson and stability in tight end Mason Taylor.

Rodgers was supposed to bring elusive success to a Jets team that owns the NFL’s longest playoff drought.

Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, suffered a torn Achilles on just his fourth play in a Jets jersey in 2023. Rodgers was out for the season. While Rodgers delivered solid numbers for the Jets in 2024, neither he nor the team found a winning recipe. He threw for 3,897 yards and 28 TDs, the third-best single-season totals in franchise history, but even though Rodgers started all 17 games, the Jets finished 5-12. They fired then-Head Coach Robert Saleh on October 8. 

As was Fields.
