New York Jets quarterback ruled OUT of preseason opener… just one month before 2026 NFL season starts
The New York Jets season may already be off to a scary start before a preseason snap even takes place.
Following yet another disastrous season, the Jets arrive in 2026 with little hope outside the idea that tanking for a top draft pick may finally boost their fortunes.
But for Jets fans that want results this season, the news of an injury to their projected starting quarterback is certainly not a welcome sign.
According to NFL Network, quarterback Geno Smith will be out of the Jets’ preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to foot soreness.
The network’s Mike Garafolo maintains that the injury is ‘nothing the team is concerned about.’
Garafolo added that ‘if this was a regular-season game, he’d be a go. But for now, a cautionary route for the team.’
