Jets WR horror story: broken ribs, punctured lung, trouble sleeping

Rookie wide receiver Devin Smith has been a spectator for most of training camp, and he is getting tired of it.

Smith broke three ribs and suffered a slightly punctured lung after getting kneed in the back by a teammate on the second day of training camp. He has been sidelined ever since.

“It’s very frustrating for me because I’ve never been out this long,” Smith said Sunday, “and this is the first time something has been broken on my body. So it’s kind of made me depressed a little bit, but just being here and seeing the guys compete and everybody has positive energy, it keeps me up.
