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
Another one-year deal in 2025?
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com believes Smith will likely sign another high-salary, one-year deal in the 2025 offseason.
ANALYSIS
Smith's effectiveness has declined at age 33, but on the bright side, he managed to suit up for the Jets' first 10 games. His durability concerns have since resurfaced, though, and he's a candidate to land on injured reserve due to a neck injury. While teams will be reluctant to commit to Smith long-term, he should still have a market as a veteran stop-gap due to his history of strong play when healthy.
