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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Smith missed Week 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 in Week 8 against the Bengals.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Flying again: Mims to be active, Crowder returning for Jets

OCTOBER 1, 2021 • Associated Press

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.

Impact 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.
