New York Jets QB sidelined after punched by teammate

The New York Jets suffered a major loss on Tuesday afternoon as it is being reported that Geno Smith has broken his jaw in a locker room altercation.

Geno Smith will be sidelined for 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw.

For what it’s worth, Enemkpali has been released. Some of the ramifications are as follows.

A turn of events at the New York Jets training camp could see a former AFC East starter return to the limelight.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, who signed with the Jets this off-season, likely will assume the starting quarterback role.

“If you have a team and you have a bunch of side issues, you can’t tolerate that”, Bowles said. “You don’t walk up to a man and punch him in the face”.

Smith, 24, will begin his third season in 2015.

The Jets also have rookie Bryce Petty, the fourth-round pick out of Baylor, on their roster.

Smith has been widely considered a failure through his first two seasons after the Jets drafted him in the second round in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Smith was punched by a teammate in the locker room before Tuesday’s practice.

Bowles wouldn’t go into the details of the fight, only telling reporters that it was “something very childish that sixth-graders could have talked about”.

Smith was receiving great reviews in camp, and hadn’t thrown an interception until Monday.
