The NFL season hasn’t even begun, yet somehow the New York Jets circus is already taking center stage. Reports surfaced Tuesday afternoon that the team would be without quarterback Geno Smith for 6-10 weeks after he was attacked by a fellow Jet in the locker room.
According to Jets head coach Todd Bowls, Smith suffered a “busted jaw” after being “cold-cocked” by teammate IK Enemkpali. Actually, make that former teammate IK Enemkpali – the linebacker was immediately released following the incident.
Geno Smith is out 6-10 weeks, Bowles (!!!). Said IK Enemkpali hit Geno and now Geno has a busted jaw

Bowles used the word "cold-cocked" to describe the incident between IK and Geno. Called it "childish."

What provoked the altercation? Bowles: "It was something very childish that 6th graders could have talked about."

Training camp injuries are quite common around the NFL, as are training camp skirmishes…but a training camp skirmish that results in a serious injury to a crucial player? J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!
