New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields took a big hit from a Carolina Panthers defender in the second quarter of their Week 7 matchup on Sunday afternoon.
Fields scrambled to his left with about 13:30 left in the first half. As he slid down to finish the play, Panthers safety Nick Scott came in hot and nailed Fields with his shoulder. At first, Fields appeared seriously injured before reappearing.

Scott immediately encountered angry Jets players and this led to a slight skirmish between players from both teams. Jets offensive lineman Armand Membou approached Scott late in the play. Scott was ultimately penalized for unnecessary roughness.
Fields left the game after the hit. He was seen entering the blue medical tent. He later returned to the game.

Senior quarterback Tyrod Taylor entered 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.
The start of the 2025 New York season has been one of the biggest surprises. The Jets were 0-6 entering the game against the Panthers and were playing without star receiver Garrett Wilson.
