Smith (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Smith's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 33-year-old offensive lineman was unable to practice all week after sustaining a neck injury in the Jets' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals. Expect 2024 first-round pick Olu Fashanu to protect Aaron Rodgers' blindside in Week 11 while Smith is sidelined.

Smith (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Smith's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 33-year-old offensive lineman was unable to practice all week after sustaining a neck injury in the Jets' Week 10 loss to the Cardinals. Expect 2024 first-round pick Olu Fashanu to protect Aaron Rodgers' blindside in Week 11 while Smith is sidelined.
Smith (neck) did not participate at practice Wednesday. Per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Smith is getting additional imaging done to assess the neck injury he sustained in Week 10 at Arizona. If he can't return to practice Thursday or Friday, he likely won't be able to play Sunday against the Colts.
Smith will get an MRI exam for the neck injury he sustained during Sunday's game at Arizona, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Smith was forced out of the Jets' contest in Week 10 early by the injury, and now doctors are trying to determine the precise severity of the issue. The team will likely have an update on his status by the time they release their first official practice report of the week Wednesday.
Smith (neck) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Smith suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game and it looks like his day has come to an end in all likelihood. In the meantime, Olu Fashanu will handle the right tackle spot versus Arizona.
Smith got a veteran rest day Thursday and was a limited participant in practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The starting left tackle missed a day of practice early in training camp with an undisclosed injury but is not injured now. Smith should be in line to start Monday night against the 49ers. The five-time All-Pro has started all 161 games he's played in during his career.
Smith (undisclosed) was not on the field for team drills at training camp Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Smith hasn't worked on the field for three days as a result of undisclosed tightness, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Smith is coming off of a resurgent 2023 campaign with the Cowboys, but he's dealt with injuries in recent years, so the developments at camp with New York are somewhat alarming.
Smith has agreed to a one-year contract with the Jets on Friday, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports. Smith spent his first 13 seasons with the Cowboys and established himself as one of the league's best offensive tackles. Offensive line was a weakness for the Jets in 2023, but Smith's addition will help improve the unit. The veteran tackle is now projected to protect Aaron Rodgers' (Achilles) blind side in the upcoming season.
Smith, a pending unrestricted free agent, is unlikely to return to the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Smith has spent 13 seasons in Dallas since the team selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and he played at a stellar level during the 2023 season after two injury-plagued years in 2020 and 2022. Concerns of age and injury still linger for the 33-year-old left tackle, but if Smith indeed hits free agency, he shouldn't lack for suitors from teams around the league in need of reliable protection.
Smith opened the week logging consecutive DNPs after missing last Sunday's win over the Rams. However, the veteran has recovered enough to take the field Sunday and is expected to start at left tackle.
