The Jets on Monday officially waived/injured receiver Devin Smith, who tore his right anterior cruciate ligament for the second time in 16 months.
Smith, 25, is expected to revert to the team’s injured reserve list after he clears waivers.
(Technically, another team could put in a claim for him but it’s highly unlikely.)
A second-round pick in 2015, Smith ‘s speed brought him to the Jets with plenty of hype. But his brief NFL stint was plagued by injuries from the start.
During the first week of his first training camp, Smith suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung during a collision with a teammate.
