Rich Cimini (@RichCimini): Geno Smith is on the field as Jets begin practice after missing preseason game with a sore ankle
Geno Smith is day-to-day with a sore ankle and was back on the field for practice after sitting out the preseason game, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The issue arose in the team's last joint practice, and coach Aaron Glenn called it "nothing to be alarmed about."
Smith's availability matters for a Jets team integrating a new offense. Rookie Cade Klubnik took the starter reps in Smith's absence and capitalized on the opportunity, but Smith remains the clear No. 1 when healthy. The day-to-day label suggests the team is simply being cautious with the veteran as the preseason winds down.
