The Jets might not be crazy about Geno Smith’s shirtless throwing session two days after surgery to repair his broken jaw.
But they apparently feel pretty good about the timetable for his return.
According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Jets General Manager Mike McCagnan said while putting his quarterback on injured reserve/designated for return was possible, it “would not be likely.”
The IR/DFR designation would rule Smith out for the first eight weeks of the regular season, after he suffered a broken jaw when former teammate IK Enemkpali punched him in the face.
