'Geno Smith did nothing wrong,' says Jets' Brandon Marshall

Brandon Marshall remains firmly in Geno Smith's corner.

The Jets wide receiver defended his quarterback on Monday, saying during a FOX TV interview that Smith "did nothing wrong" before he was sucker-punched in the locker room last Tuesday by former teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali.

Smith, 24, suffered a broken jaw in the altercation and underwent surgery on Thursday. He is expected to miss 6-10 weeks.

"I was sitting right there and I would say this without going into too many details because we've already moved past it: Geno Smith did nothing wrong. He did nothing wrong," Marshall, who, to this point, has remained tight-lipped during group interviews with the Jets media corps, said on air, according to the New York Daily News.
