Geno Smith breaks jaw in fight with teammate, out 6-10 weeks

Geno Smith is going to miss 6-10 weeks after breaking his jaw in a fight with a teammate.

UPDATE: The guy who knocked out Geno Smith was apparently just a massive ‘ball of muscle’, according to Jason La Canfora.

Jets source described Enemkpdi as "a huge ball of muscle." Jets were high on Smith's camp thus far. Was going to get a good run starting...

The New York Jets are a dumpster fire of an organization and we are constantly reminded of it on a daily basis. Everyone thought that Rex Ryan being let go as head coach would fix things but the Jets are worse off than they’ve ever been.

Case and point being Tuesday morning, when they lost the closest thing they have to a quarterback after he was sucker punched by his own teammate.

According to the New York Times, Geno Smith will miss 6-10 weeks after he broke his jaw in a fight with a teammate. The report states that he was sucker punched — which is a familiar feeling for Jets fans but something new for Geno Smith.

Holy Moly: Geno smith got sucker punched in locker room this morning. Broken jaw. Out 6-10 weeks at least.

This is so atypically the Jets that it’s almost fitting that it happened. The guy who broke his jaw is a 24- year old outside linebacker from Louisiana Tech named Ikemefuna Enemkpali — who was promptly released after breaking the jaw of the franchise quarterback.

Todd Bowles called it childish on part of IK, who hit Geno and was released

This is just such a Jets thing that it’s perfect. You can’t get any more dysfunctional than this and this couldn’t have happened to any other organization than the Jets. It seriously couldn’t have.
