Jets QB Geno Smith Evaluated for Concussion After Big Hit and Rookie Cade Klubnik Makes NFL Debut
- On Sunday, November 15, 2026, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith left the game against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium after suffering an apparent injury and being evaluated for a concussion.
- During a third-and-4 play from the 9-yard line, Smith threw a jump pass while airborne and was struck by Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard with his right shoulder, leaving Smith on his back for several minutes.
- Before leaving the game, the 36-year-old completed 9 of 16 passes for 113 yards against Buffalo, serving as the Jets' primary starter for a team entering the matchup with a 2-7 record.
- Rookie Cade Klubnik, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, replaced Smith under center for the third quarter to make his NFL debut, while head coach Aaron Glenn opted for a 27-yard field goal by Jason Sanders to cut the deficit to 10-6.
- The team has not issued a confirmed diagnosis for Smith, though the Jets have Will Levis on the practice squad; his potential absence creates uncertainty for an offense relying on his leadership throughout 2026.
