Justin Fields was supposed to be getting a fresh start, but things have started off terribly.

During Thursday’s training camp with the New York Jets, the embattled quarterback was in the midst of running drills.

Fields ran one play, which was an incompletion. He stood up, sat down, then stood up again.

He would limp off the field. Trainers would soon tend to him on the sidelines as they removed his shoe and worked on him on the table.

Clearly, that was not enough, and soon, a cart would come out to retrieve him and take him back to the locker room.

 

Fields looked better for the Steelers in 2024 than he did in the first three years of his career with the Chicago Bears. In 10 games, he completed a career-best 65.8% of his passes for 1,106 yards, with five touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed for 289 yards and five touchdowns on 62 carries.

2025 Is An Important Year For Justin Fields

Justin Fields is set to begin a new chapter in his NFL career with the New York Jets. After looking good early in the season last year as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Fields ended up back on the bench when Russell Wilson returned from injury.

Heading into free agency, the Jets prioritized him and signed him to a two-year, $40 million contract.

Now, he is being given a chance to be a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, and he’s still young enough to be a long-term option.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
