Jets' Justin Fields hit hard by Panthers defender, sparks brief scrap

Fields scrambled to his left with about 13:30 left in the first half. As he went to slide down to end the play, Panthers safety Nick Scott came in hot and nailed Fields with his shoulder. Fields looked like he was seriously injured at first before he popped back up.

Fields left the game after the hit. He was spotted going into the blue medical tent. He later returned to the game.

Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor came into the game for Fields and finished the drive. Nick Folk kicked a 34-yard field goal to tie the game with the Panthers at three.

New York's start to the 2025 season has been one of the biggest surprises. The Jets were 0-6 going into the game against the Panthers and playing without star wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
