Prior to Thursday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, Bills head coach Rex Ryan named defensive end IK Enemkpali one of his team captains.
This obviously ruffled feathers because Enemkpali was cut from the Jets (Ryan’s former team) after he and backup quarterback Geno Smith got into a locker room scuffle which resulted in Enemkpali punching Smith in the jaw. Smith’s jaw was broken by the punch and he essentially lost his starting job to Ryan Fitzpatrick in the process.
Although, Ryan defended Enemkpali and his decision to award him team captain status.
