VIDEO: Justin Fields Seen Wearing Bulky Knee Brace While Warming up for Fiesta Bowl vs Clemson
By Mark Powell
Justin Fields is going to play against the Clemson Tigers in the College Football Playoff, as there is no doubt about his injury status. However, Fields had stated he hoped to wear a smaller leg brace in the game as to not limit his mobility. Unfortunately for Fields, the brace he had on during warm-ups was quite noticeable, and pointed out by several members of the media who cover the team regularly.

Even with a brace, Fields is still an electric runner and dynamic in the passing game. Yet, facing a tough Clemson Tigers defense, the margin for error is quite slim, which is why every detail is under a microscope.

Ohio State is the underdog on Saturday night, and their CFP history against Clemson is not kind. For the Buckeyes' sake, we hope Fields' brace doesn't play a factor.
