#Jets WR Vyncint Smith, who saw a specialist today after injuring his core muscle on Friday, will need surgery.
Expected recovery is 5-8 weeks. It’s not ideal, but better than it could have been (season-ending)

Per Connor Hughes of The Athletic, New York Jets receiver Vyncint Smith will be sidelined for the next 5-8 weeks with a core muscle injury. Smith missed practice on Sunday and later visited a specialist, leading to a verdict of surgery.
With the expected recovery period, the earliest Smith could return would likely be after the Jets’ Week 3 tilt with the San Francisco 49ers on September 20.
