New York Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith suffered an apparent injury at the end of the first half of his team's Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Smith's injury occurred after he was hit in the midsection while attempting a third-down pass in the waning seconds of the first half. The 35-year-old was hit hard from the front by Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard and was also undercut by another Bills defender as Bernard contacted him.
Smith remained down on the ground after the play and received medical treatment on the field. He was later taken to the medical tent for further evaluation.
Smith exited the tent shortly thereafter and stood on the sideline wearing his helmet as the first half wound to a close. However, he did not take the field
at the start of the second half, with backup quarterback Cade Klubnik taking the field in his place.
Here's what to know about Smith's injury as the Jets remain entrenched in a tight matchup against the Bills.
