Tyron Smith

Jets placed LT Tyron Smith (neck) on injured reserve.

Tyron Smith will be eligible to return in Week 17, though the Jets are all but certain to be eliminated from the playoffs at that time, so this may be the last we’ve seen of Smith in a Jets uniform. Smith signed a one-year deal with the Jets in the offseason. Pro Football Focus graded him as a plus blocker in both the pass and run game, but will fail to come close to playing a full season once again. Smith last played more than 13 games in 2015 and has only hit 13 once in the past five years. The former Cowboy will have plenty of suitors on the open market, but his injury woes will limit him to another short-term deal.
