Jets' Marshall Says Geno Smith Did Nothing to Warrant Punch
NEW YORK — New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall has come to Geno Smith's defense, saying the injured quarterback was not at fault in last week's locker-room fight.
In an interview Monday with ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike" show, Marshall says he saw then-teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali punch Smith and break his jaw. Marshall says Smith didn't stick a finger in Enemkpali's face, as some reports suggested.
The receiver roomed with the quarterback in the offseason. He says it's an "unfortunate situation" and Smith "didn't do anything wrong that day."
