NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Former New York Jets linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali could face discipline from the NFL under its personal conduct policy after breaking quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw with a punch in the team’s locker room.
Enemkpali and Smith got into a dispute Tuesday before the team’s morning walkthrough, and the linebacker slugged the quarterback. Smith likely needs surgery and is sidelined for 6-10 weeks, according to coach Todd Bowles. Enemkpali was released by the team shortly after the incident.
An NFL spokesman said Wednesday that the league is reviewing the situation.
