*New York Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith will miss six to 10 weeks with a broken jaw after getting “sucker-punched” in the locker room, New York Jets coach Todd Bowles revealed Tuesday.
Smith was punched by linebacker IK Enemkpali, who was promptly released by the team as a result.
The Jets’ opener is less than five weeks away.
NBC Sports Michael Davis Smith writes: “Training camp fights are common, but those fights are usually on the practice field, when players are in full pads. For a player to seriously injure a teammate in the locker room is very rare. And for a player to seriously injure his team’s starting quarterback is completely shocking.”
