The Jets moved quickly after the incident between IK Enemkpali and Geno Smith, releasing Enemkpali and signing cornerback Javier Arenas. Geno Smith suffered a fractured jaw from a “sucker punch” by Enemkpali in a locker room dispute this morning before the Jets practiced. According to Todd Bowles Smith will be out six to 10 weeks.
Javier Arenas has made stops with the Chiefs, Cardinals, and Falcons. At 27 Arenas can still contribute and possibly be a valuable backup for the Jets.
