(Reuters) - IK Enemkpali, a second-year linebacker who broke the jaw of New York Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith in a locker room scuffle, apologized on Thursday for the incident that he said "should have never happened."
The Jets released Enemkpali on Wednesday, one day after the fight with Smith, who will be lost for six to 10 weeks after suffering two fractures of his jaw.
Enemkpali was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills, whose first-year coach, Rex Ryan, had the reserve linebacker on his roster in 2014 when he coached the Jets.
