FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Jets might have a budding backup quarterback controversy.
Todd Bowles declined to say Sunday whether Geno Smith remained the team’s No. 2 QB behind Ryan Fitzpatrick or if Bryce Petty has surpassed him on the depth chart.
The Jets coach said earlier in training camp that there was no change in the pecking order, but Petty had a strong showing in New York’s 22-18 loss at Washington on Friday night. Meanwhile, Smith struggled in the game and appeared to perhaps lose his stranglehold on the backup job.
