Placed on IR due to neck injury
The Jets placed Smith (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith suffered a neck injury in Week 10 against the Cardinals, and he has missed the Jets' last two games as a result. He'll be forced to miss the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 17 against the Bills, though Rich Cimini of ESPN.com posits that Smith is likely done for the rest of the 2024 regular season. Smith signed a one-year contract with the Jets in March after spending the first 13 years of his career with the Cowboys, who selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

The 32-year-old has made eight Pro Bowls in his career, but Smith has played only 17 games total over the last three seasons and hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to handle a full schedule since 2015. When he's on the field though, he remains a stalwart left tackle for Dak Prescott.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Contemplating retirement
Smith has yet to decide whether he wants to keep playing in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. "I've got to make a lot of decisions going forward. Within the next couple weeks, I have to decide what I'm going to do as far as playing or not playing," the veteran left tackle said Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old's first season with the Jets was much like his last few with the Cowboys, as Smith had trouble staying on the field. He suited up for only 10 games in 2024, ending the season on IR due to neck trouble. Smith says he's feeling healthy now, but the pending free agent might decide to start the clock on his seemingly certain Hall of Fame induction rather than seek another contract, whether it's with the Jets or another club.
