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...

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Jets confident Wilson's 'in a good place' after 4-INT game

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

Two targets in Week 2 Smith caught one of two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Maye a big bright spot for Jets with big plays, leadership

Safety Marcus Maye has been making big plays all season even while the New York Jets were off to an 0-13 start

DECEMBER 24, 2020

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

Impact 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.
