In what feels like a passing of the torch, New York Jets left tackle Tyron Smith -- one of the NFL's most decorated linemen -- was ruled out for Sunday with a neck ailment that could land him on injured reserve.
Smith, 33, will be replaced by rookie Olu Fashanu, who was drafted in the first round (11th overall) as Smith's heir apparent. Fashanu will start against the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium -- his NFL starting debut at left tackle, where he will protect Aaron Rodgers' blindside.
