It's certainly a "Jets thing".

Sad thing is that it might actually make the Jets better in the short run.  Smith is terrible.

Yeah, FitzPatrick is no world-beater, but he's better than Turnover Geno.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will be sidelined at least six to 10 weeks with two fractures in his jaw, the result of a locker room altercation Tuesday morning with reserve linebacker IK Enemkpali.

"It was nothing to do with football. ... It was very childish," coach Todd Bowles said. "He got cold-cocked ... sucker punched, whatever you want to call it, in the jaw. He's got a broken jaw, a fractured jaw."

Enemkpali, a sixth-round pick in 2014, was released immediately by the team.

"The team knows it. It's something we don't tolerate, something we can't stand," Bowles said. "You don't walk up to a man and punch him in the face."

Smith, who was the presumptive opening-day starter, will have surgery, according to Bowles.

Smith took to Instagram vowing to return.

A clearly annoyed Bowles said Enemkpali punched Smith over a trivial matter.

"It was something very childish, something sixth-graders could've talked about," Bowles said. "It had no reason to happen. If they want to tell you what happened, they can tell you what happened. I told them I wouldn't say anything about it."

Asked if there were any festering issues between the two players, Bowles said, "Not to my knowledge. Obviously, it was a sudden thing."

This is not Enemkpali's first brush with off-field violence. At 19, while at a bar when he was at college at Louisiana Tech, a fight broke out and he punched an off-duty cop who was working security at the bar. On that night, Enemkpali had to be subdued first with pepper spray and then with a stun gun.

He was arrested and charged with battery on a police officer and disturbing the peace/drunk, according to court records. The charge was amended to simple battery, and he received a suspended jail sentence and was placed on 13 months' probation. He also was ordered to perform 32 hours of community service and to complete an anger management course.

Tuesday's altercation means veteran backup Ryan Fitzpatrick will start the season as the team's quarterback. Bowles indicated that may add another quarterback. The current No. 2 is Bryce Petty, a rookie who has been struggling in camp.

Smith, entering his third season, was having an impressive camp. He didn't throw his first interceptions until Monday.

Free-agent quarterback Michael Vick, who spent last season with the Jets, reached out to Smith via Twitter.

Now rumors that Geno got punched because he welched on a debt.

[D.o.s.]

This stuff happens every day in training camp. It happens at the college level, too. The biggest difference is that 96% of it ends on the field.

Didn't know this guy was still playing.

Any chance his play isn't gross, man?

The NFL works quickly. This afternoon, Goodell hired Ted Wells, who investigated and determined that it was more probable than not that it was actually Tom Brady, dressed up as Enemkpali, who punched Geno Smith.

Anyone got any pic of enempkali ?

[KG Living Legend]

Fight was over 600$ Geno promised to pay him back for, travel expense money from a football camp. Wow.

Rex Ryan and the Bills claim Enemkpali off waivers.  Classic plot twist.
