  • Cut with injury settlement

    The Cardinals released Smith (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Smith spent the entire offseason with Arizona, but he appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury during training camp. The journeyman wideout will be eligible to sign with another club once healthy. He suited up for 11 regular-season games with the Jets last year, hauling in eight of 11 targets for 134 yards in that span.

  • Stays in AZ on reserve/future deal

    The Cardinals signed Smith to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith has ample NFL experience, recording 34 catches on 67 targets for 426 yards over 36 regular-season games since coming into the league with the Jets in 2019. However, he didn't play at all in 2023, spending the first part of the season on Arizona's practice squad before being placed on the practice-squad IR in late October and reaching an injury settlement a few days later. Smith rejoined Arizona's practice squad in December, and, with the reserve/future contract, will get the chance to…read more

  • Returns to the desert

    Smith (undisclosed) signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith joined Arizona's practice squad in September before ultimately ending up on the injured list and being waived with a settlement. Now healthy, the Boston College product has been brought back into the fold and will provide organizational depth at wideout.

  • Let go by Arizona

    The Cardinals reached an injury settlement with Smith (undisclosed) and cut him from the practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Smith was moved to the practice squad injured list Tuesday with an undisclosed injury. He'll have a chance to explore his next options once he is fully healthy.

  • Moved to practice squad IR

    The Cardinals placed Smith (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Smith picked up the injury, but he won't be able to be called up by the Cardinals for the next four games. He's eligible to be promoted from the practice squad Nov. 26 against the Rams.

  • Added to Cardinals' practice squad

    Smith was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Smith will head to Arizona after entering the 2023 season without a team. The wide receiver was released with an injury settlement by the Giants in August after he suffered a knee injury, but he will now have a chance to prove himself with the Cardinals. Smith appeared in 11 games with the Jets in 2022, reeling in eight catches (on 11 targets) for 134 yards.

  • Works out with Jets

    Smith, who was released by the Giants on Aug. 11 with an injury settlement, had a workout with the Jets on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Smith was placed on the Giants' injured reserve Aug. 4 after sustaining a knee injury during the early stages of training camp. Reaching an injury settlement allows Smith to explore his options once healthy. His first quest to get back on an NFL roster unfolded in New York via his workout with the Jets, with whom he spent his first four years in the league.

  • Let go with injury settlement

    The Giants released Smith (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Smith reverted to the Giants' injured reserve after clearing waivers and was set to miss the entire 2023 campaign. However, he's now free to sign a new contract once he's able to pass a physical. The severity of Smith's knee issue remains unclear, but it may stem from an injury he suffered at the end of 2022.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    Smith (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier that Smith was waived with an injury designation, but that's not possible because he's a vested veteran. Instead, he's been moved directly to the Giants' injured reserve list and will be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New York. Smith missed the final weeks of 2022 due to a knee issue, but it remains unclear if the two injuries are related.

  • Waived with injury designation

    Smith (knee) was waived with an injury designation by the Giants on Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith finished his 2022 season with the Jets on injured reserve due to a knee injury. He signed with New York's other team in March but is still recovering from the injury. Smith will likely get some interest from NFL teams once he's back to full health.

  • Dealing with injury

    Smith is working to recover from a knee injury during training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith's 2022 season ended due to a knee injury and it's not clear if the current ailment is related. Duggan notes that the injury is not likely significant; however, he could miss some time. The former Jet is probably on the outside looking in when it comes to making the Giants' 53-man roster, so he'll continue to work toward a speedy recovery as he attempts to make the active roster.

  • Lands with Giants

    Smith signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Smith spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jets, and he'll stick in New York after signing with the Giants. He's never commanded more than 37 targets in a single season and has seen his role steadily decline in each of the last three campaigns.

  • Won't be tendered

    The Jets will not tender Smith (knee) ahead of Wednesday's deadline, setting him up to hit free agency, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Smith posted a goodbye to New York on his personal Twitter account Tuesday, solidifying Pelissero's report. The veteran speedster secured eight of 11 targets for 134 yards in 11 appearances with the Jets last season, including a 77-yard tally against the Lions in Week 15, before going down with a knee injury. He will look to secure another depth role on the open market.

  • Placed on IR

    Smith (knee) was put on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Smith had his best game of the season Week 15 against Detroit, hauling in four passes on five targets for 77 yards. However, he apparently injured his knee in that contest and sat out last week's loss to Jacksonville. With his subsequent placement on IR, Smith won't be able to return this season unless the Jets make the playoffs and advance to the AFC Championship Game.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Smith (knee) was ruled out for Week 17 on Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith will miss a second game in a row Sunday as he continues to nurse the knee injury he sustained in Week 15 versus the Lions. The wide receiver was able to take advantage of the absence of Corey Davis in that contest, producing four catches for 77 yards in the loss. With Davis now back on the field, Smith will likely have a miniscule roll when he's able to return.

  • Not practicing to begin Week 17

    Smith (knee) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even with the benefit of a longer turnaround for Week 17 after the Jets played the Jaguars last Thursday, Smith hasn't moved past the knee injury that sidelined him for the 19-3 loss to Jacksonville. Prior to sitting out against the Jaguars, Smith posted season highs in catches (four) and receiving yards (77) in a Week 15 loss to the Lions, but that production came with Corey Davis sitting out with a concussion and with Denzel Mims suffering a brain injury of his own during the contest.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Jets will also be without Denzel Mims (concussion), whom Smith helped replace in this past Sunday's loss to the Lions. With two of their depth options sidelined, the Jets are left with Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, Elijah Moore as their likely starting wideout trio and with Braxton Berrios as their lone reserve option. New York could look to elevate another wideout from the practice squad prior to Thursday's game.

  • Idle for another practice

    Smith (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Coming off his most productive game of the season -- a four-catch, 77-yard effort in a Week 15 loss to the Lions -- Smith may not be able to build on the outing while he contends with the knee injury. He's now been listed as a non-participant on the Jets' first two Week 16 injury reports, which has him trending in the wrong direction as Thursday's game against the Jaguars approaches. Smith will likely need to practice on at least a limited basis Wednesday to have a shot at suiting up versus…read more

  • Misses practice with knee injury

    Smith (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Fellow wide receiver Denzel Mims (concussion) also sat out, while Corey Davis (concussion) was listed as a limited participant. Smith racked up a season-high 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions but could be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Jaguars.

  • Plays more due to Jets' WR injuries

    Smith caught four of five targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Smith got an extended opportunity in this one as Corey Davis (concussion) was inactive and Denzel Mims suffered a concussion of his own in the first quarter. The fourth-year Jet out of Boston College made the most of his chances in the two-minute drill to end the first half, securing catches of 50 and 15 yards on consecutive plays. If neither Davis nor Mims is cleared to play Thursday against the Jaguars, Smith could be thrust into an expanded role on offense again.

  • Healthy scratch again

    Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: Smith is a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. He'll likely continue to remain sixth on the depth chart at receiver while all of Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims are available.

  • Another one-target outing

    Smith caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Smith has yet to see multiple targets in a game this season. He'll continue to provide wide receiver depth and contribute on special teams when the 6-3 Jets return to action following their Week 10 bye.

  • One catch against Pats

    Smith caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Corey Davis' (knee) absence didn't lead to a noticeable uptick in volume for Smith. The last multi-catch game for Smith came back in Week 9 of last season.

  • One target with Moore out

    Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Elijah Moore's (personal) absence didn't create more opportunities for Smith. The 25-year-old wide receiver has caught two of four targets through seven games in 2022.

  • Makes second catch of 2022

    Smith caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.

  • Targeted once in Week 4

    Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 24-20 win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Smith saw his second target of the season but failed to reel it in. He'll continue to contribute primarily on special teams with four players ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart.

  • One catch in Week 2

    Smith caught his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Smith's role is limited primarily to special teams. Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Corey Davis should continue to see the bulk of playing time at wide receiver when healthy, and Braxton Berrios is next in line to fill in should one of the top three options go down.

  • Finds end zone in preseason finale

    Smith caught all three of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Smith is known more for his work on special teams, but he showed he can chip in on offense by scoring from 19 yards out in the final minute of the first half. The 25-year-old wide receiver is a safe bet to make the team in a depth role.

  • Signs new contract

    Smith signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith appeared in 12 games for the Jets last season, recording eight catches on 17 targets for 113 yards. It was a step backwards statistically from 2020 for the third-year pro, but he did see an increased role on special teams as a gunner on kickoffs and punts.

  • Mostly special-teams role in 2021

    Smith caught eight of 17 targets for 113 yards in 2021.

    Analysis: Smith appeared in 12 games with the Jets and featured regularly on special teams but rarely saw the field on offense. He'll be an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, which means the Jets have the option to bring Smith back at the league minimum salary, and New York may opt to do so based on Smith's special-teams contributions as the gunner on kickoffs and punts.

  • One catch in Week 17 loss

    Smith caught one of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Smith tied a season high with four targets but didn't make much of his opportunities. He could see an increased role once again in Week 18 against the Bills given the Jets' dearth of healthy pass-catchers, but Smith's unlikely to make a significant impact on the stat sheet.

  • Targeted once in return

    Smith (undisclosed) didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 26-21 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Smith returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list following a two-week absence, but he remains an afterthought in the low-octane Jets passing attack. While he's a valuable contributor on special teams, Smith rarely sees the field on offense.

  • Returns to active roster

    Smith (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Smith has been in the health and safety protocols the past two weeks but has now been reinstated to the active roster. The 24-year-old has seen most of his action on special teams this season and should return to that role now that he's healthy.

  • Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Smith was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear whether Smith tested positive or was a close contact, but the overwhelming likelihood is that he will now be out Sunday against the Saints. His likely absence will leave the Jets very thin at wide receiver, as they are already without Corey Davis (groin), and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is questionable after having failed to practice all week.

  • Best game of season Thursday

    Smith caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Thursday's 45-30 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Smith caught multiple passes in a game for the first time since Week 8 of last season. His uptick in production can likely be attributed to third-string quarterback Josh Johnson being pressed into duty after Mike White injured his forearm in the first quarter. Johnson's reps in practice have come predominantly with receivers buried deep down the depth chart, so he and Smith have been able to build a rapport.

  • One catch in Week 8

    Smith caught his lone target for 10 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Smith was a healthy scratch in Week 7 but returned to the game-day roster with Corey Davis (hip) unavailable. When he plays, Smith's role is limited primarily to special teams.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Smith will be a healthy scratch for the Jets on Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a concussion, then returned to practice Oct. 20 after the Jets' bye week. Despite being cleared to play, the Jets will look elsewhere for offense against New England. Although active Weeks 1 through 3, Smith logged limited snaps to the tune of four targets, two receptions and 48 yards. Smith will hope to crack the game-day roster Week 8 against the Bengals.

  • Back from concussion

    Smith (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith has been in concussion protocol since Week 4, missing two games a result. However, he apparently made enough progress in his recovery during the team's bye week to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In three appearances on the season, Smith has recorded two receptions for 48 yards.

    Smith (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith will miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion, which he originally suffered in a car accident on the way to the Jets' practice facility. Prior to the injury, Smith had recorded two receptions on four targets for 48 yards across three contests.

  • Remains in concussion protocol

    Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Smith remains in the concussion protocol, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Smith was held out of the Jets' Week 4 win over the Titans due to a concussion, and his status is still in question ahead of Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. Even if the 24-year-old is cleared to return in Week 5, he's unlikely to play a significant role.

  • Won't play Week 4

    Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Smith suffered the concussion after being involved in a car accident on the way to the Jets' practice facility Wednesday. The 24-year-old has played mostly a reserve role for New York this year, catching two of his four targets for 48 yards. Fellow wideout Elijah Moore (concussion) has also been ruled out, so Denzel Mims is expected to be active Sunday after being a healthy scratch the past two games.

  • Likely out Week 4 with concussion

    Smith missed practice Wednesday after suffering a concussion in a car accident earlier in the day, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. The receiver isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: The accident occurred as Smith was driving to the Jets' practice facility. While playing in each of the team's first three games, Smith has typically served as the team's No. 4 or 5 receiver, recording only two receptions for 48 yards on four targets. With the statuses of Elijah Moore (concussion) and Jamison Crowder (groin) also murky for Week 4, Denzel Mims seems likely to return from the inactive list to dress for Sunday's game.

  • Another one-catch game

    Smith caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Smith has just two receptions through three games, with most of his playing time coming on special teams; he played only six offensive snaps in this one. Fellow wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) left this game early, but Denzel Mims (coach's decision) is more likely than Smith to play a prominent role against the Titans in Week 4 should Moore have to sit that one out.

  • Two targets in Week 2

    Smith caught one of two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith delivered a big gain on his lone catch but remains an afterthought in the Jets' offense, though he seems to have leapfrogged Denzel Mims (coach's decision) for the sixth spot on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart. Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson was picked off four times without a touchdown in this one, so the Jets' top pass-catchers are hard to trust right now, let alone depth guys like Smith.

  • Minimal role in Week 1

    Smith failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Smith barely saw any involvement, even with Jamison Crowder (illness) and Keelan Cole (knee) both sitting out. He's unlikely to take on a larger role in Week 2 against the Patriots or beyond, barring even more injuries to New York's receiving corps.

  • Shows versatility against Eagles

    Smith caught two of five targets for 16 yards and added 44 yards on three rushing attempts in Friday's preseason finale against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Smith excelled on the ground in this one, but he hasn't previously shown outstanding aptitude as a gadget guy, and his receiving output here was nothing to write home about. He'll likely find himself on the outside looking in when the Jets cut their roster down to 53 players.

  • Inks tender with Jets

    Smith (shoulder) signed his ERFA tender with the Jets on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Smith played a fairly consistent role in New York's offense early last season, but it completely dwindled down the stretch as the rest of the team's receiving corps got healthier. A shoulder injury also knocked him out early Week 17. He'll spend the offseason competing for a depth spot on the final roster.

  • Done for the day

    Smith (shoulder) will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith wasn't targeted before leaving Sunday's regular-season finale with a shoulder injury. Through 11 appearances in 2020, Smith secured 17 of 37 targets for 167 yards. He also played 30 snaps on special teams.

  • Active for Week 17

    Smith (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith enjoyed a consistent role earlier in the season, but he didn't play an offensive snap over the last two weeks. A similar role can be expected in Week 17, as Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman, Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios are all healthy.

  • Listed as questionable

    Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith played through this injury last week. He was a limited participant in practice this week, so he's trending in the right direction for the season finale. His status shouldn't concern fantasy managers, as Smith didn't play a snap on offense over the last two weeks.

  • Available against Browns

    Smith (shoulder) is active Week 16 against Cleveland.

    Analysis: Smith was able to participate in practice all week on a limited basis despite a shoulder injury sustained in Week 15, so he was likely leaning more on the "probable" side. Nonetheless, Smith likely isn't a fantasy option, as the last time he secured more than one catch was back in Week 8. In the Week 15 contest where Smith suffered the injury, he had seen 10 special teams snaps and zero on offense prior to exiting.

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old sustained the injury during last week's win over the Rams, and his status remains in doubt for Sunday's contest. Smith was able to practice as a limited participant all week, so he should have a decent chance of suiting up this weekend.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Smith (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith suffered the shoulder injury during the second half of Sunday's win against the Rams and was unable to return to the contest. The limited practice Wednesday gives him a shot to suit up in Sunday's clash with Cleveland, though much will depend on his participation level the remainder of the practice week. Smith has a combined three catches on four targets over his last five games, so he isn't a critical component in the team's passing attack.

  • Sustains Week 15 shoulder injury

    Smith (shoulder) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

    Analysis: After collecting a reception in three consecutive appearances between Weeks 11 and 14, the Boston College product remained without a reception upon his second-half exit. Given that Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman, Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios were all active for the cross-conference showdown, Smith found himself relegated to the No. 5 slot in the WR pecking order.

  • Quiet in Mims' absence

    Smith caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Smith saw extra work on the outside with Denzel Mims (personal) unavailable but didn't do much with the opportunity. He hasn't caught multiple passes in a game since Week 8 and is unlikely to reverse that trend in Week 15 against the Rams.

  • Held to one catch again

    Smith caught his only targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Smith has caught more than one pass only three times this season and has failed to do so since Week 8. He'll likely remain an afterthought in New York's underwhelming passing game against the Raiders in Week 13.

  • One catch after bye

    Smith caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Smith has been a nonfactor since the rest of New York's receiving corps have healed. He has topped 30 yards only once all season and will continue to work in a depth role against the Dolphins in Week 12.

  • Nonfactor in Week 9

    Smith wasn't targeted in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith was relegated to the No. 5 wide receiver role with all three of Denzel Mims, Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder healthy for the first time. He played just two offensive snaps as a result and likely will remain a nonfactor moving forward barring further injuries up the depth chart.

  • Eight targets in Week 8 loss

    Smith caught three of eight targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 35-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Smith's starting on the outside with the Jets beat up at wide receiver, but he hasn't demonstrated the skills necessary to make the most of these opportunities. Despite being targeted at least eight times on three different occasions this season, Smith has topped 30 yards only once. Even if New York doesn't get any of its injured receivers back against New England in Week 9, Smith's impact figures to remain minimal.

  • No catches in Week 7

    Smith failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Smith didn't get much attention from starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for just 120 yards in his return from a shoulder injury. Fellow wide receiver Breshad Perriman exited with a possible concussion, so Smith could have a path to more playing time in Week 8 against the Chiefs, but he's unlikely to turn that potential increase in snaps into much production based on what we've seen from the Jets so far.

  • One catch in Miami

    Smith caught one of four targets in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Smith started on the outside opposite the returning Breshad Perriman (ankle) but did little with the opportunity. Chris Hogan (ankle) and Denzel Mims (hamstrings) are on IR, but the latter could be nearing a return and will likely push Smith down to a depth role at that point.

  • Does little with big volume

    Smith caught only three of 11 targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: After a big showing last week, Smith led the Jets in targets in this one, but the second-year receiver did very little with his opportunities. His workload over the last two games (20 targets) is primarily a result of Breshad Perriman (ankle) being unavailable, so there's no guarantee Smith's burst of relevance will continue in Week 6 against the Chargers.

  • Strong showing in season debut

    Smith brought in seven of nine targets for 81 yards in the Jets' 37-28 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

    Analysis: The Boston College product had been activated off injured reserve earlier in the day, and he was put right to work with Breshad Perriman (ankle) out of action for Thursday's game. Smith, who recorded just one reception for 12 yards during his rookie 2019 campaign, ended up co-leading the team in catches alongside Jamison Crowder, while his receiving yardage tally checked in second only behind his teammate. It remains to be seen if this performance will garner Smith a solid role in a Week 5 home…read more

  • Comes off IR

    Smith (shoulder) has been activated off IR in advance of Thursday night's game against the Broncos, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: He'll bolster a Jets' wideout corps that will be without Breshad Perriman (ankle) and Denzel Mims (hamstring) this week. The team also has a couple of players who head into Thursday night banged up, in Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (ribs). It remains to be seen how heavily Smith will be used in his return to action, but he has a chance to be involved in the offense right away, considering all the injuries the Jets are dealing with.

  • Coming off IR soon

    Coach Adam Gase said Smith (shoulder) will practice Tuesday and should come off injured reserve soon, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Smith's return to practice opens up a 21-day window for the Jets to reinstate him from injured reserve and add him to the active roster. Based on Gase's comments, Smith could be an option to return from IR as soon as Thursday's game versus the Broncos. The Jets' pass catchers are still banged up, as Breshad Perriman (ankle) is already ruled out, and Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan (ribs) still haven't logged full practices. If both Perriman and Crowder are sidelined Thursday, Smith could be in…read more

  • Shifts to IR

    The Jets placed Smith (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith received good news from an MRI in late August, but the Jets will give him additional time to recover, as the wideout isn't eligible to return until Week 4. The team's receiver corps is riddled with injuries, but at this time, Jamison Crowder (lower leg), Breshad Perriman (knee) and Denzel Mims (hamstring) are all projected to start in three-wide sets to begin the year.

  • Expected to miss two weeks

    Smith (shoulder) is expected to miss two weeks but could be back even sooner after receiving encouraging MRI results on the injury he suffered Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN NFL Nation reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Smith should be back just in time for the Sept. 13 season opener. With New York's already thin receiving corps also battling the injury bug, Smith could play a bigger role than expected if he's healthy for the opener. On the other hand, he's not even a lock to make the roster at the moment.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Smith left Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith is largely unknown after going undrafted in 2019 out of Boston College, where he played quarterback, but he's among the Jets' most explosive athletes (4.36 40, 127-inch broad jump) and could emerge at some point if his wide receiver skill set develops. An absence of any duration would make it more difficult for Smith to do that, unfortunately. As a practice squad call-up in Week 15 of 2019, Smith caught one of two targets for 14 yards on 14 snaps against Baltimore before suffering a…read more

  • Placed on injured reserve

    Smith (ankle) was added to injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: A high-ankle sprain is usually a multiweek injury, and Smith had already been declared out for the year. It's very unfortunate timing for the undrafted rookie as he had just been promoted from the practice squad and was making his NFL debut when he got hurt.

    Smith was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Friday and is out for the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith sustained the injury during Thursday's loss to the Ravens, which was his first action of the season. The 22-year-old spent most of the season on the team's practice squad before being promoted to the active roster earlier this week.

  • Injures ankle Thursday

    According to head coach Adam Gase, Smith suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens and will be evaluated Friday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith was promoted to the Jets' active roster earlier this week and secured one of two targets for 12 yards in Thursday's contest. He could have had a much bigger night if not for a missed connection on a Sam Darnold deep ball in the second quarter, during which Smith appeared to slow down on his route and was subsequently overthrown. The severity of the receiver's injury will likely be known in the near future, and he will have a full 10 days to recover before the Jets take on the Steelers in…read more

    The Jets officially promoted Smith to their 53-man roster Monday. Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: There was speculation that the Boston College product would be joining the roster earlier Monday, and that has now been made official. Smith brings depth to the offense as well as special-teams upside for the Jets.

    The Jets are expected to promote Smith to the active roster ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Ravens, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith offers versatility and special-teams upside for the Jets, having been utilized as both a receiver and rusher during his time at Boston College. It looks as though the undrafted rookie will get a shot to make his NFL debut versus Baltimore on Thursday.
