Without mentioning Jets quarterback Geno Smith — the player he punched — by name, linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali said Thursday that he was sorry and that he had never meant to hurt anyone.
As for joining his new team, the Buffalo Bills, Enemkpali said he was grateful for getting a second chance a day after being claimed off waivers.
In making his first public comments two days after breaking Smith’s jaw in an altercation in the Jets’ locker room, Enemkpali referred only to something that “happened,” spoke for just 45 seconds and declined to take any questions.
