Update The New York Jets have confirmed that Geno Smith has cleared concussion protocol. Kade Klubnick returned to the game midway through the third quarter, but another hard hit sidelined him.
Smith then returned to the locker room for a second time.
Sunday’s game between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills was incredibly close, with the Bills taking a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter.
But if the Jets are going to pull off the upset, they’ll have to do it without starting quarterback Geno Smith.
The veteran quarterback was sidelined before halftime with a concussion, and is being evaluated for a concussion. New York turned to rookie Cade Klubnik, drafted in the fourth round last spring, in his place.
This is the game that sent Smith aside.
You can see Smith hit high and low on this play, before being sent crashing down the field. Smith lingered for a long time before returning to the sidelines.
Here’s another look at the attack:
New York scored a field goal on the next play to send the game into halftime with a 10-6 lead.
Klubnik was in the game for the Jets as the second half began.
