Jets' Jaiquawn Jarrett sorry about injuries to receiver Devin Smith

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Jets safety Jaiquawn Jarrett felt remorse when he learned the extent of rookie wide receiver Devin Smith's injuries.

Smith, the Jets' second-round pick out of Ohio State, suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung after colliding with Jarrett following a spectacular catch Friday. Smith is expected to be out four to six weeks.

"I'm sorry to hear about it," Jarrett said. "But it wasn't like I was intending to hit Devin, you know? It was a play [in which] he was going up and the ball bobbled in the air and he happened to come down.
