Jets’ Wilkerson leaves practice with tweaked hamstring
That wasn’t enough to save his job, as Smith struggled and really only had Decker to lean on in 2014. “I talked to him and he’s doing a lot better than he was”, Bowles said of the second-round draft choice.
The Jets will have one of the best defenses in the NFL, which means that the pressure will fall on Smith and the offense to not make mistakes. He’s not expected to start this year, either.
Who is the greatest Jets’ QB of all-time? “We’ll just go day by day”. The rookie will miss the majority of training camp.
The only sure thing about training camp is that players will be injured.

New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson left Sunday’s practice early with what is being called a “tweaked hamstring” by head coach Todd Bowles. With Smith out wide receivers TJ Graham and Jeremy Kerley will competing for the number three wide receiver spot. On Saturday, the fourth-year safety out of Temple made one of the day’s bigger plays when he forced a fumble by receiver Walter Powell inside the 5-yard line and then recovered the ball.
July can’t come to a close any quicker for the New York Jets.
“That was extremely tough [to see]”, quarterback Geno Smith said. “But I’m sorry that that happened to him”. In 2014 with the Buckeyes, Smith had 33 receptions for 931 yards and 12 touchdowns and finished his Ohio State career with 30 receiving touchdowns over the span of 54 games. Those are terrible numbers, so for him to not even throw a pick at practice, again, qualifies as encouraging improvement.
Per the team, Smith was being held overnight in a hospital as a precaution. The AFC East is tougher than ever, but, well, so are the Jets, and they could take the next step if Smith does.
