The New York Jets‘ quarterback drama took an unexpected turn Monday, with an MRI revealing a torn ACL for Geno Smith.
As a result, the Jets will change starters for the second time in six days. Ryan Fitzpatrick, benched last week in favor of Smith, will start Sunday against theCleveland Browns, coach Todd Bowles announced.
Smith will visit Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday for a second opinion, but the Jets expect him to require season-ending surgery. His right knee twisted awkwardly Sunday on a second-quarter sack by Baltimore Ravens linebackerMatt Judon.
