Ryan Fitzpatrick expected to start Week 8
Sources: Based on initial MRI, belief is that #Jets QB Geno Smith tore his ACL. Incredible. Players in the locker room are learning about it (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Smith’s time as the Jets No.1 QB was brief. He’ll know have to wait a calendar year before getting a crack at a starting job again. Expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the starter Week 8 but given his uneven play it’s not out of the question for Christian Hackenberg and/or Bryce Petty to see action toward the end of the season.
