Geno Smith is on the field at Jets practice Monday
Geno Smith was a late scratch for the Jets' preseason opener due to a sore ankle, but there was no concern from the team about an extended absence and Monday brought good news about his condition.
Geno Smith made a return to the field at the New York Jets' Monday practice, participating in the walkthrough portion despite previously being a late scratch due to a sore ankle. The team expressed no concerns about his extended absence, and reporters at the camp confirmed Smith's presence and activity in the walkthrough. Wearing a sleeve on his lower left leg, Smith was joined by fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik, who started the game against Tampa and contributed to his chances of securing the backup position for the regular season.
Klubnik led two drives that resulted in 10 points, showcasing his performance as a potential backup option. The Jets are set to play their second preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, with head coach Aaron Glenn yet to disclose the lineup for that match.
