The optimism surrounding Geno Smith's offseason has taken a cruel blow.
The New York Jets' starting quarterback will miss the next six to 10 weeks with a broken jaw suffered after being "sucker-punched" in the locker room, coach Todd Bowles announced Tuesday in an impromptu press conference. The Jets quickly released linebacker IK Enemkpali, who was the one who punched Smith. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Smith's jaw was broke in two places.
"You can't tolerate that," Bowles said. "When you have a team and a bunch of side issues you can't tolerate that. It's something that happened in the locker room and we're dealing with it internally and that's what we'll do."
Jets fans are used to calamity happening to their team at the quarterback position, but this is a new one. Smith was one our candidates to improve this season as a starter, largely because of how well he fits in offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's system. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played for Gailey in Buffalo, will be expected take over as the Jets starter in the meantime. Rookie Bryce Petty is also on the roster. The timeline of the injury indicates that Smith is likely to miss the start of the regular season.
I'LL BE BACK! -- Geno Smith
Jets fans searching for answers on what caused the punch aren't likely to be satisfied with the answers.
"I'll let them tell you," Bowles said of Smith and Enemkpali. "It's something very childish that sixth-graders could have talked about ... If they want to tell you what happened they'll tell you what happened. I told them I wouldn't say anything."
Enemkpali was a sixth-round draft pick in 2014 and played only 40 snaps as a rookie. He was suspended in 2011 while attending Louisiana Tech following an arrest for punching an off-duty police officer.
The news continues a rough couple of weeks for the Jets. Defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was charged for resisting arrest and could face an extended suspension to start the year. Their second-round pick, receiver Devin Smith, suffered punctured lungs and broken ribs, putting his status for the season in doubt. Former first-round pick, cornerback Dee Milliner, is out six to eight weeks following wrist surgery.
The presence of Fitzpatrick lessens the damage to the Jets' offense. He can keep the team afloat, but it's a devastating moment for Smith. He needed the next month to learn Gailey's offense, play preseason games and get ready for a make-or-break season. Instead, he'll be recovering from an injury that is almost without precedent in NFL history, even for the Jets.
