Geno Smith out for Saturday's game against Jaguars,aftermarket motorcycle fairings
Geno Smith will not face the Jaguars after all. Two hours before kickoff Saturday night, the Jets announced the rookie quarterback will not play in their second preseason game at MetLife Stadium. Smith had been slowed by a sprained right ankle this week and had his worst practice of the summer on Wednesday -- so bad,cheap motorcycle fairings, his head coach Rex Ryan labeled it brutal. Ryan was noncommittal about Smith's status on a Thursday conference call with reporters,motorcycle fairing, saying only, We'll see, when asked whether the injured rookie would see action against the Jaguars. Ryan -- who chose to go with Mark Sanchez as the starter because of the veteran's practice performance and Smith's ankle injury -- has repeatedly said the quarterback competition is far from over. But Smith saw limited action in Week 1 of the preseason against the Lions (6-for-7, 47 yards) before injuring his ankle. And with his inactive designation against the Jags,motorcycle fairings, that leaves just their third preseason game -- typically reserved for the season starters -- against the Giants. Ryan, however, sees things differently. We're not going to get into who's ahead, who's not, he said Thursday. I'll say that right now the competition is not complete and there's still time to make that decision. In addition to Smith, wide receiver Santonio Holmes (PUP), running back/kick returner Joe McKnight (head), fullback Lex Hilliard (ribs), punter Robert Malone (back), linebacker Josh Mauga (back), center Dalton Freeman (ankle), guard Brian Winters (ankle) and nose tackle Kenrick Ellis (back) will not play. With Smith out, that leaves just Greg McElroy -- who rolled his ankle in practice this week -- and Matt Simms as Sanchez's backups.
