Jets coach Todd Bowles announced the injury in an impromptu news conference Tuesday afternoon, adding that Enemkpali has been released. Bowles said Smith and Enemkpali got into an “altercation” in the Jets’ locker room Tuesday morning.

According to reports, Smith, 24, who now has two fractures in his jaw, accepted a plane ticket from linebacker Ik Enemkpali to attend the linebacker’s football camp in Pflugerville, Texas.
“It had no reason happening and if they want to tell you what happened, they can tell you what happened, but I told them I wouldn’t say anything about it, so I’ll keep it there”.
Somehow and someway, Fitzpatrick, who entered the NFL in 2005, is going to have yet another chance to start for yet another team.
Geno Smith shared a selfie just hours after being sidelined by a sucker punch from his former Jets teammate. “Something you don’t tolerate”. He was suspended from the Louisiana Tech team in 2011 after being arrested for an off-campus incident in which he was booked with disturbing the peace and battery of a police officer.
A sixth-round draft pick in 2014, Enemkpali appeared in six games during his debut season.
Smith posted an all caps message to Instagram, proclaiming, “ILL BE BACK”. And since the Jets went 4-12 last season, this was seen as Smith’s last chance to make a case that he is a starting NFL quarterback. “Geno and I left our frustration get the best of us”. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. Enemkpali asked Smith to reimburse the money, and Smith said he would but never did, Schefter reported.

“I have no regrets of things that I’ve done”, Newton said. The Jets QB seems to be in good spirits regardless of the incident saying, “I’ll be back”, recently on social media. Now those hopes will lie with Ryan Fitzpatrick, a journeyman from that well-known football colossus, Harvard University.
