It had long felt inevitable that Justin Fields had already played his final game with the New York Jets. On Tuesday, that feeling was all but confirmed.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Tuesday that Fields had officially been placed on season-ending injured reserve, insisting that the fifth-year quarterback's knee injury wasn't where the team hoped it would be. His 2025 season — and likely his Jets career — is over.
In reality, Fields’ injury is largely a formality. He had no interest in playing another game for the Jets this season, and that feeling was mutual.
