Justin Fields: Looking Forward to Getting Back on the Field

Justin Fields: Looking Forward to Getting Back on the Field

How do you feel? You like that? You guys like that? Oh, you like that? Oh, feel good. Feel good. To know you’re going to be back this week. I guess when you got the news, what was your reaction and like how happy you’re back playing? Um, I had an idea, but you know, of course with this concussion stuff, which it was my first. Um, you know, there’s some days you feel good and some days the symptoms come right back. So, um, but right now I feel good and hopefully I, you know, continue to feel this way. Uh, when Monday comes. Does that change your mindset at all? How you play getting concussion? Does that alter anything? Uh, I mean, not really. You know, I’ve always kind of had the mindset when I run is, you know, get down, protect myself. So, I don’t think when you’re playing ball, you can you can’t, you know, think a different way. You just got to go out there and play ball. When when did you feel like you knew you were going to be good to go back? Uh, like I said, I felt good a couple of days over the weekend and then Sunday or Monday it kind of got bad like to the early symptoms again. So, it was up and down, but um like I said, it was just more of a dayby-day thing. How did it feel like just being out there getting you basically a full week of practice, correct? Yeah. Felt good. It felt good being out there with the guys and um you know I don’t like sitting out too much so um felt felt felt good being back out there. You had that early big day in the open. Things did not go well for you all team. What what was wrong in that game? Um we didn’t play our brand of football. Um we didn’t execute well enough. Uh I turned the ball over early. We didn’t start fast and um yeah, I mean that’s pretty much the moral of the story. So what Buffalo did that that was different from what maybe you saw in the opener? Because week one was also Tanner’s first time play. So week two they kind of had a little bit of film to try to try some different things you guys want to do. What was the question? Did they do anything different Buffalo maybe like something unique you guys weren’t expecting? Not really. I think they called you know um they dialed up pretty good plays when we were you know trying to call plays like on the around they just happened to call cat blitz right there and you know sometimes that’s football but um I mean yeah uh like I said we just didn’t play a brand of football that day and it it it wasn’t our day. So what were some of the symptoms that you had? You said you kind of Yeah. Um migraines throughout the day. Um sensitivity to light. Um just that was a big one. What other ones? I couldn’t really focus. Like if I tried to concentrate on the paper, I couldn’t really focus. My head would hurt a little bit. So just small stuff like that was um was kind of weird to me. But yeah. Is that more like I mean every injury but more frustrating because you know like if it’s like a muscle or something like but this is dealing with your head. Yeah. Um, and yeah, I mean it is so you know um you just got to be smart with it. You know, you can play through soft tissue injuries and stuff like that, but you know, I’m going to need my brain the rest of my life. So, u most important thing is just me being smart and um you know, not putting myself at risk for long term. You’ve seen a number of players wear the guardian caps, more people wearing the guardian caps. Was that a consideration for you at all going back? No, I I switched helmets, but not a guardian cap. Have you had something like this before? No, it’s my first concussion. Was that like scary? I mean, it wasn’t scary. It was just different. Like, like I said, it was my first one. I didn’t expect some of the symptoms I didn’t expect them to be as bad as they were. Um, but like I said, I’m glad I’m happy now. And u I mean, I’m glad I’m well now. And um yeah, there you go. [Music] Watch the game. Oh, yeah. You knew I watched the game. Uh, of course it was uh terrible not being there, but um after Will blocked that field goal, boy, just know I was going crazy in the crib. Just know that. But um yeah, I mean close game. I thought the guys fought hard to the end and um you know, I was proud um overall just just how we uh battled battled back. So yeah, I mean obviously got two 0 and3 teams both. What do you expect from the Dolphins just in terms of the attempts to get this game away from both teams? Yeah, for sure. I mean, like you said, we uh we both have yet to get a win this season, so it’s a it’s a big game for both of us. Um you know, Monday night, uh not much of a bigger stage either. So, uh you know, I know we’re going in there to, you know, win by any means, and they’re probably doing doing the same thing. So, like I said, we’re excited, we’re prepared, and I’m ready to go. Talk to anyone, whether it was on this team or, you know, someone outside of this about going through a concussion. Yeah, I mean some guys in the team, you know, who have had experience with me, they gave me some pointers. Um, just different supplements I can take, different things I can do to kind of speed up, uh, the healing process and stuff like that. So, um, I mean, there wasn’t just one most hopeful one, but, um, you know, Tyrod, he’s had one in the past. Ruck’s had one had a couple in the past. So, um, just, you know, different advice from those guys who have had in the past. What was the best advice? There wasn’t like one specific best advice is what I’m saying. I mean, you guys spent you guys spent the whole year together last year dealing with this season. I know you’re dealing with your own team, but he lost going with Jackson. I’m curious if you guys had any communication. Did you reach out? No, not really. Like you said, uh, you know, we have our own stuff going on, so you know. Yeah. Thank you, everyone. product.
