Stone Smartt - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Seven catches in 2025 Smartt caught seven of nine targets for 52 yards while dressing for 15 games in the 2025 season.

Impact Smartt played mostly on special teams and drew at least one target in only three of his 15 appearances for the Jets. He spent the previous three seasons with the Chargers and has just one touchdown catch in 53 regular-season NFL games. The 27-year-old Smartt's set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Paces team's TEs again Smartt caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Smartt has stepped up in the absence of Mason Taylor (neck), catching seven of eight targets for 52 yards over the past two games. Prior to this relatively productive stretch, Smartt had just one target all season. Smartt and Jeremy Ruckert could maintain larger roles if Taylor sits out the regular-season finale against the Bills.

Five receptions in Week 16 Smartt recorded five catches for 34 yards on five targets in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Impact Smartt took the field for 20 of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense, with his 30 percent snap share placing him behind Jeremy Ruckert (67 percent) and ahead of Jelani Woods (20 percent) among New York tight ends. Though Smartt's five catches ranked first on the team, he's nonetheless likely to see his role in the passing game fade in Week 17 against the Patriots if top tight end Mason Taylor (neck) is able to play following a two-game absence.

Active for Week 15 Smartt (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Smartt entered the league's concussion protocol following the Jets' Week 14 loss to the Dolphins. He ended the week with a full practice Friday and has been given the green light to play Sunday after being evaluated by an independent neurologist. Smartt will have the opportunity to serve as the Jets' TE2 behind Jeremy Ruckert due to Mason Taylor (neck) being inactive.

Good to go vs. Jacksonville Smartt (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Smartt was able to practice Friday without limitations, and he has cleared the league's concussion protocol after being evaluated by an independent neurologist. The fourth-year pro has mostly served on special teams this season, but he could see an expanded role on offense Sunday due to the absence of Mason Taylor (neck).

Clears concussion protocol Smartt (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smartt took the week to progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol, advancing from a non-participant Wednesday to a full participant in Friday's session. Now cleared of any injury designation, the tight end is cleared to play behind starter Jeremy Ruckert and will likely be used primarily as a blocking tight end as the Jets look to protect Tyrod Taylor and establish the run with Breece Hall.

Limited with concussion Smartt (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smartt entered the league's concussion protocol after sustaining an injury late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The tight end's upgrade to limited participation means he is progressing through the league's requirements. The 27-year-old will have just one more practice to pass an independent neurological exam and upgrade to full participation in an attempt to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

In concussion protocol Smartt (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Smartt appeared to sustain the injury late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, and he finished that game playing 22 snaps (three on offense, 19 on special teams) while failing to haul in his lone catch. Given his DNP on Wednesday, Smartt faces an uphill battle to be cleared to play this Sunday against the Jaguars. With Mason Taylor (neck) also working through an injury, Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods are the two remaining healthy tight ends on the Jets' active roster for the start of Week 15 prep.

Scores 24-yard TD in Saturday's win Smartt caught his only target for a 24-yard touchdown in Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.

Impact Smartt's touchdown catch came in the third quarter, well after all of the Jets' starters had departed. He's behind Mason Taylor (ankle) and Jeremy Ruckert on the depth chart, but Smartt's intriguing pass catching ability could earn him a role on offense come the regular season, especially if Taylor misses time as a result of the rookie second-round pick's high-ankle sprain.
