Geno Smith will not be making the start for the New York Jets in their preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo shared the news on X, saying, “Jets QB Geno Smith will not play tonight against the Buccaneers because of foot soreness, source says. It’s nothing the team is concerned about, and if this was a regular-season game, he’d be a go. But for now, a cautionary route for the team.”
With Smith out of the lineup, Garafolo revealed that rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik will get the start. He also shared that “the rest of the [Jets’] starters are a go.”
